Yup . . .

. . they use a "multi-link" design because regular A-arms take too much dedicated space. With multi-link they can squeeze more stuff into a smaller space, and the tortured shapes of all those components demonstrate they're squeezing every cubic inch they can get.

Oh, pardon me . . . they would be squeezing "cubic centimeters" over there, wouldn't they?

Thrust arm, sorry. -NT - (admin) - May 2, 2007, 10:33:36 AM EDT

My bad; faulty memory. - (admin) - (16) - May 2, 2007, 10:33:05 AM EDT
