Super Beetle single A arm front suspension.

[The Pirate]

thanks for the info. yeah these A arms are not going to be for racing. Just an upgrade for street use. I may later try to develope a set for races and roders but not just yet. The arms will be made of metal that is the same thickness as the original beetle I arms if not a little thicker, plus the metal will be of a bettter quality. For ease of replacement the ball joint is a 944 bolt on replacement. The pivot point bushings are out of a 1982 Audi 4000. The sway bar bushings will most likely be the beetle ones. I may have found an existing drop link on BMW that may fit the set up. After I have one arm properly welded up and ready to go, I am taking it to a local fab shop to have it bend and torque tested. They have a machine there that bends and twists fabricated items to see if and where they would fail. I have a freind that works there so he is sliping me in early morning to use tha machine.
