accruide in a rear drawer is overkill, it just is. and your talking to someone that overkills everything when I allowed.

Thanks Scott. This set was built to order. I think Figs is waiting for us to put them through the wringer, confirm their quality before he adds them to his product line.
Some product development. Since the install of my HD Whiteline rear swaybar I have been eating the bushings in the swaybar links. With bushings you get too much give before the bar starts to work IMO and wanted to eliminate that also.
Started with this and it looked like it may work.
No problem with the articulation.
Totally killed the set up in one short weekend of wheeling.
On to plan B
Much stronger, makes for a tight set up and more adjust ability to work with other set ups. Not sure with joints giving only 23° of movement will make the cut. So far liking the set up on to some more real world testing.

Curious how the bushings hold up. Are they just poly bushings? Is there any "wristed" rotation in the arm at all to take some stress off the bushings?

That’s true power steering leaks with OEM clamps.

Good questions. They are fitted with SuperPro poly bushings. We're curious to see how they hold up too. They're only a few thousand miles old so time and use will tell. I think we would need to fit the arms with perhaps some piezoelectric strain sensors to provide an accurate answer to the "wristed" motion question. But that is tech lab engineering work. I have taken it upon myself to do the slightly less academic but greatly rewarding field testing. I'm selfless like that.
I will try and give you a more definitive answer after we tinker a little more.
Subject to change ... I know exactly what you mean! I finally decided to go just below the rear speaker so I can open the little box in the wall without issue. On top the 37kg frige extension and of course the fridge itself will be mounted. And all the booze in there adds some additional mass too, so I had to make sure the whole thing is "heavy duty" enough. This is version 2 of the set up
Ah and I didnt go for Lithium but AGM. Why? Because I wanted full redundancy with my two starter batteries in case SHTF - 24V Diesel Starter here
Where is your build thread?!
Oh ... I did not think there might be people around catering for my european tinkering

No need to get all scientific on the rotation question. Some arms allow for some rotation (wrist) at the adjustment joint so that the eyes can stay static in the mounts. Reduces a lot of wear of poly bushings, that can get trashed pretty quickly in high flex applications.Good questions. They are fitted with SuperPro poly bushings.

Tweaked a radius arm. I'll probably just throw it in the press and straighten it out but if anyone has a spare they'd part with, let me know.

I've got a spare in need of bushings. (other one is bent like yours) Yours for the shipping $$$

Do you know the cause? Is the shock leaking also?

With a drawer built like that, and wiring that clean, I think most people would love the tinkering!
Changed rear diff fluid. Washed it. Got new tires the following Monday, Cooper AT3 XLT 295/75/16.
