Whose front suspension parts

[SLED]

Anyone have an idea of whose front suspension is installed? (Control arms,struts,steering rack,steering knuckles etc)

Whose? Who's? What? Huh?

It's a conventional MacPherson strut suspension. Lower control arm wishbone, strut, steering knuckle, tie rod, hub.

We don't know the suppliers behind any of those components AFAIK, nor what components are included in or in what way the lift kit and lowering kit adjusts it up and down.

MacPherson's?

I’d like to get some idea of whose parts are being used. I hope they don’t use Jeep Liberty ball joints!

Sure would be a good hack to get part numbers & cross reference what vehicles use these parts,comes in handy if something breaks on the road you grab that part from that old Massy Ferguson to back up & running.

ummmm... pretty sure you won't be finding too many common parts with an old farm tractor.

re your fear of Jeep Liberty ball joints... not sure there was anything wrong with them, per se, but every vehicle has different geometry, stresses and loads on parts like that. Its quite possible that those exact ball joint, in a Honda Accord could be bullet proof.

Yeah, the Slate is likely to use already existing ball joints, struts, steering bits... but it'll likely also have uniquely stamped control arms to accomodate its specific size and layout.

I hardly think these are things that will have much demand for another several years.

I like how the lower ball joint bolts into the lower control arm. None of that pressed-in shit.

The front suspension is designed for a front motor. One of the videos showed there is full clearance for axles and CV joints. The sway bar ends have a curve that isn't necessary unless there is a CV joint.

Might as well make that part of the design from the get go.
