HD Wishbone Overview

Thanks again Tim for another great video

2nd

,,, what was the first of these ? I know Don Ness had them in 1987, and maybe earlier .

Love your stuff man. Attention to detail and beautiful engineering.

✊

Very cool, if you ever have the need to be more accurate , I have a suggestion. Make the tool out of the same material you’re welding. The thermal expansion will be the same. We do that in aircraft tool building. That small of scale would be minute. Great job keep up the great videos...

Did you apply for the patent ?

Parts that last are what we ALL look for ! Thanks Tim

That is ART....WOW!

Can I come to your shop and just weld for a week at a time.. your zero gap fitups are a welders dream!

That fitment was dam perfect.
shit

I drank a beer every time Tim said fixture and a shot of whiskey every time he said jig. NoW iM sEeInG dOuBlE fUgGiN vIsIoN !!

Fun drinking game: every time tim says jig or fixture take a shot .
Goodluck Ps. Really nice video

I noticed in the video the wishbone mounted both ways does it not matter how it's mounted?

Took about ten seconds for me to realize this is a science and as such must be learned. I would have not only done it wrong. but most likely made a death trap..thanks for taking the time to do this..sincerely.

As always the professor has spoken so y'all best listen 💯

Beautiful! Thank you Tim.

Your a genius Tim I hate shrinkage can u make me a fixture to help with it

Tim’s cars are like jewelry !!! They look good in the staging lanes and even better in the winners circle 😲

What 3 MOE-RONS disliked this video?

respond to ping on internet port is good for BF4 if you get kicked out from servers saying you don't have a ping for everyone to look at. It's not showing ingame? This is the issue. Enable that. I also felt alittle less latency too.

400th 👍's up guys thanks for the great information on how to go fast

So these locate the rear end like a Panhard or a watts link?

What are your guy's opinions on running a wishbone on a street driven car? It's built for the track, we just haven't gotten around to taking the license plate off...

While I'm curious about the general thoughts on this, my application in specific is a stock style suspension radial Fox body, I'm running the Baseline Suspension 'Outlaw' relocated uppers + lowers, all heims/solid ends no rubber/poly. In spite of the heim/solid rear links, these stock style Fox(and G-body for that matter) suspensions are known for a little side-to-side movement(triangulated 4-links are compromised by design), so I was thinking about maybe a wishbone mounted between the lower links to afix the rear end along the chassis centerline for good for rock solid stability.

I don't know if there's any risk of causing some damage during axle articulation, like what can happen with drag racing anti-roll bars on the street, but that's definitely a concern.

I haven't watched all of your other videos, but from what I can tell, you are running a relatively parallel 4 link with a a wishbone that also telescopes in length. pretty cool stuff. I was watching another channel the other day, and they had a truck with a 4 link front that used a scissor mechanism for a panhard bar that had a sliding joint. it used the same thing for the steering linkage as well.

Ah. There's a slider. Now I finally see how this 4-link mechanism can work. You know there are tube laser-cutters out there that can make these notches in tube ends in seconds? You will have to outsource it as it's a huge investment and it obviously doesn't work on bend sections. But it's a lot cheaper than CNC-milling.

I no longer am building cars, but when I did, my wishbone was very similar to your new design, but we used a rubber bellows toe dust seal on the slider. We didn’t have the Teflon bearings, we used a second steel insert for size, and a grease zerk was installed, and the bellows kept everything clean.

stud biker bracelet combined w/sturdy hose clamp, but the studs face into the pipe u r clamping onto. Plenty strong bc instead of just 2 pins u hve it studded all the way around pipe. Nothing to drill out or rear weld just torque on or off the hose clamp.

I'd love to see a video on the benefits and advantages of the track locator wishbone over a cross brace, watts link etc

Hi Tim,

I'm rebuilding Bill Jenkins Grumpy's Toy VIII 70 1/2 Camaro Pro/Stock car. As you may or may not know that car was built by SRD and it has a 3-link rear suspension with a wishbone. I'm upgrading a couple of the components like the wishbone and the link arms. The link arms arm pretty straight forward but the wishbone is a little wider than anything you have listed on the website, approximately 24 inches across the eyelets. I'm wondering if your jig would accommodate a width that large and if so would you be interested in building that piece for this historic old race car?

Best regards Michael Brennan

The fit is Tits

I have wallowed out wishbones where the slider enters, and exits. Used to just replace them. Now I put a steel split shaft collar on both ends, and torque them down so the tubing can't wallow out. Been running the same one now for a while

Unbelievable workmanship! It would be great to see the fixture and the CNC process

Hello, I have a CHE rear end brace and axle tubes welded. Done right by welding tubes empty with a jig in middle to keep tubes straight. Any benefits of adding a wishbone to the rear or at this point, would be unnecessary and even over kill? Thank you
