I wrote a freaking long reply to this yesterday that seems to have got lost in the eather (sp?). So the compacted version is this.

Ben, the front seems wrong to me. The puch rods, rocker bearings and shock inc picovts need to be in the same plane, like on the pred.

Your appears from the photos to have rocker bearings attatched vertically, this means they will only work correctly in the 'plan view'. The pushrods are working mostly vertically which is a completely different plane, so the forces will be acting as a massive twist force on the rocker and bearings. This will lead to unpredicatble responce I think.

Also the static (or slow speed) turning circle is meaningless to the dynamic one of when the car is on track. So trying the turning circle in your workroom floor means nothing.

Don't take this as me knocking you, more constuctive critisism.

And anyway I might have read the pics wrong
