While this is a versatile configuration, and continues to be available
from Team321, there are instances where this configuration will not
work due to frame rail interference or a variety of other reasons.
With that in mind, Team321 continues to develop alternate
IRS configurations to better suit our customer's needs. Team321's modular
design allows us to utilize the same Upper and Lower control arm pivot points
and base spindle design.
A new IRS configuration is shown immediately below. The
animation below shows the up / down movement of the suspension. The unique
aspects of this design allow it to be used in a variety of applications.
The view of the animation is from the rear of the vehicle.
The animation attempts to show the compression /
extension of coilover shocks. It should be pointed out that airshocks can
be substituted for coilovers in this configuration.
We call this configuration:
In Angle Rocker
The next animation illustrates another
configuration developed by Team321. This configuration locates a coilover
from the lower control arm to the vehicle's frame.
