Steering brakes on the back would be crazy

[@the_kombinator]

They should separate brakes on each corner controlled by a joystick - make a 4 way joystick that actuates four single piston cylinders (use a master from a hydraulic clutch - 2002 Accent for example) in an X formation and connect it to a X and Y axis pivoting joystick with pushrods to press into each master, so that each corner of the X points to the wheels LF, RF, RR, LR starting at top left and going clockwise. Connect the other end respectively to each corner of the car's brakes with brake lines - 4 way selective brakes ;)

Connect the steering wheel with the rear wheel brakes cylinders like: Turn steering wheel left - brake the right rear wheel slightly. Turn steering wheel right - brake the left back wheel slightly. And then put also one shock absorber on the left and one on the right side like somebody bellow sugested. All together this should impove the setup of this poor lada a lot.

[@Frogtalkin]

Be possible to divide the sides into to two levers or pedals, not the wheel though.

[@ouch1011]

That car is the perfect example of 1980s design. Everything is straight, like it was drawn with a ruler. (Actually made in 2014)

[@PODbot2.5]

Yes, this is a problem of Russian car production. The design was invented, if I'm not mistaken, in 88-89, it was launched into production in 96, and finished in 2010. And when it was time to release a new model, in fact, they simply redesigned this one. And it was produced 2007-2018. Despite the fact that the plant has concepts that are currently relevant, but they will go into production, at best, with a delay of about six years.

[@the_kombinator]

@@PODbot2.5 At least you guys still make cars. Poland had Polonez from 1978 to 2002. From the very first car off the assembly line to the very last one 24 years later, the doors are interchangeable.

[@lulzyboy]

I own two. A 110 and a 112. They're fun if you own another car but in theyre reality dreadful cars to drive. The frame is designed in the 80s while the suspension etc is designed for 2000s, so the frame is too soft and everything feels awful. It's loud. It handles incredibly poorly. Mine are from 2000 and 2004 and neither have any other safety feature than seatbelts (which are now probably too rusted to even hold)

[@davekauffman8727]

I've got something you can try, 4-wheel steering. 4-wheel drive would also be an option since there are plenty of front-wheel drive cars to use the components from. Vehicles don't feel much of anything usually, but my guess is that some might cringe when forced to drive by your shop. Love you guys, you rock!

[@midestinoelmundo]

They can tie the steering wheel with steel cables and pulleys on the roof to the upper ends of the rear and thus make the steering controllable. And center the bottom joint that appears to be somewhat off-center.

[@EladSi]

Very interesting experiment. I think you should use the same mechanism as in articulated bus and add another joint in the upper section of the car (the roof), since the springs allow the articulation only in high speed - they need force to make the articulation effect. In addition, the front section of the car needs another set of wheels on its rear end, in order to avoid the unpredictable maneuvers. Keep up the good work, guys!

[@stevewilson2745]

this works way better than i would have ever expected, but its missing one thing.. shocks. out your springs in the middle, and shocks on the corners. springs on top, shocks on bottom. you will still get the articulation when you corner, but when going straight, it will stay a bit straighter

[@blue1901]

i love it! this is one of the coolest videos!

[@ChrisRepomancincinnati]

I would try air shocks instead of springs so you could adjust the stiffness of the turn it wouldn't swing as fast and I would make a pivot point on the floor like a trailer or pin setup.
