Re: Swapped torque tube for open driveshaft need a solution for radius arms
Without a central pivot point the radius rods will bind. The same issue exist when you split the front wishbones and move them to the side of the frame. Because the original front axles are an I-beam the axle can twist which allows the split wishbone setup to work. When a tube front axle is used there is a problem as the tubular shape resist twisting and over time something has to give! The rear axle is even more resistive to twist. If a four-bar setup is used there needs to be provisions for movement at both ends of each link. I like the more traditional look of the original radius rods myself, so I think it is worth the effort to modify it to work.
