X-Eng ultra-flexible replacement radius arms incorporating our
new X-Joint.
Only
X-Arms and X-Joints give you up to 35 degrees of unrestricted
axle droop, 10 degrees of axle rise and unlimited rotation.
This gives an astonishing maximum of 45 degrees of unrestricted
articulation to an axle!
The
X-Joint works just lke your Hip Joint. It has a 60mm diameter
ball made from EN8 Steel cushoned inside a specially moulded
Shore 'A' 70 PU Elastomer bush. The bush is then housed in
a pair of Anodised, CNC machined HE15 grade structural Aluminium
cups.
We
have even tested them on portal axles - and they are plenty
strong enough!
The
PU bushing gives a similar amount of cushoning to the original
chassis bush helping minimise transmitted axle vibration.
The
arms are adjustable length so you can compensate for mis-allignment
of your differential due to a suspension lift.
The cups bolt through the existing holes in your chassis radius
arm mount - so absolutely no modification is necessary to
the chassis.
The X-Joint is greasable and fully re-buildable. It requires
little mantainence and it will give you years of service with
exceptional performance.
We
have rigorously tested the joints and arms with over 2000
miles of on and off road use including use on Paul Wightman's
truck on The Argyl Challenge 2006 - recognised as one of the
toughest.
In
January 2007 we took the joints to Universal Materials Testing
based at Sunderland University to get some accurate figures
on the properties of the joint. The results are on video here:
