I like how your front rail goes right through the chassis rails, much stronger. What did you make your front axle I beam from?

Panhard rod reduces the side to side movement of the axle. Pivoted from the body on one end and on the diff housing at the other. A watts link is slightly different but probably a bit better. Pop in to you local library and look at the Ford (watts link) & Holden (panhard rod) manuals from the 1990's pre independent rear end.

fisher42 Thanks, I'll look into that. My first task will be understand what a panhard rod is, and does. It sounds good though. A watts linkage - looks even more complex. Damn, I was going for KISS, too!

Just looking at the pictures, might be good to put a panhard rod on the front axle to stop it walking. We used to fit them to the rear diffs on rally cars, made a huge difference to handling and stability. If you want fancy try a watts linkage. Looks great!

Good score. Sound like they should work pretty good.
The calcs that I used included the length as part of the equation, so I think that you are correct.
