How to make a baywindow ride good - Front suspension explained

[@hunterluxton5976]

You speak very good English, and explain this very well.

[@stillstonedd]

Very informative your explanations in detail give me lot to think about when I do it great video danke schön

[@1esaus]

Hey! Have any experience with thicker trackbars for a t2? Ive seen them for sale. Yellowish in color with pu bushings. Do they improve drivability?

[@SPRasmussen]

@@1esaus you know i actually thought about trying this myself. But I have the problem with narrowed beams that kind of stopping me. I think I would help a lot

[@thomdruijts6892]

Very nice video, good explanation! Can I ask you how much you narrowed this beam? Thanks!

[@SPRasmussen]

@@thomdruijts6892 thanks 🙏. It’s 3.5” narrowed

[@thomdruijts6892]

Thanks! If I narrow 3,5” there is no modification needed to the fixation of the shocks? From what brand is your front beam?

[@SPRasmussen]

@@thomdruijts6892 nope. It should fit perfectly. I made this beam myself

[@thomdruijts6892]

@ do you sell these beams also? I’m not experienced well in cutting and welding my beam and springplates… I prefer buying a complete one.

[@SPRasmussen]

@ I did once. But I don’t have anymore left 😝

[@hermancorey]

If I have a 4-inch narrowed beam, would I need 2-inch or 4-inch narrowed tie rods for both sides??

[@SPRasmussen]

2" on both sides

[@joefortune6933]

What size were those Porsche Rims? 17's or 18's. Great video, learned a lot again.

[@SPRasmussen]

17”. Narrowed a bit

[@CallunaTrip]

interesting video - thanks for sharing - cheers from polish VW T2ab. Stay connected

[@KG72]

Nice work. What tires you run?

[@Auck40]

Can you tell me the wheel and tire combo you were talking about? You said they were 17”. What style are these and what tire size were you using? Great looking setup!!! I want them for my 71. 👍👍👍

[@SPRasmussen]

Tires on the video are 195/40/17 and 205/40/17 but now I change to 185/35/17 and 215/40/17

[@hermancorey]

What prompted you to change the size of your tires?

[@4runnerthegreyfloraroberts705]

I would like to know more about the sway bar fit I haven’t been able to find anyone who has set it up like you did

[@SPRasmussen]

What do you need to know ?

[@mccoysmakingmemories]

Is it the original sway bar? I would imagine it needs to be narrowed as well? Or did you purchase another one?

[@SPRasmussen]

@@mccoysmakingmemories that need to narrowed to.

[@johnbennett7020]

Hi can I ask when you flipped the antiroll bar did you have to use different rubber in the clamps or longer bolts to pull the bar into place thanks

[@SPRasmussen]

Same rubber and clamps

[@heyjohajo5319]

Hey! I‘m looking for drop spindles for my 69 bay window with drum brakes. Not welded. But only disc brake spindles are available at the moment. Do you have an idea? Thx✌🏻

[@SPRasmussen]

I have. But working on it.

[@heyjohajo5319]

Ok! I‘m waiting for it.👍🏻✌🏻

[@brianthomas2948]

[@tospicy4ya]

Can u do a video on gow to make a split drive good 😅

[@SPRasmussen]

Bus ?

[@tospicy4ya]

@@SPRasmussen yeah please

[@SPRasmussen]

@@tospicy4ya see if I can help you later. Have done a couple of split buses😅

[@josepauloquimba5245]

what is the max inches can I narrow my beam for my late bay? thanks!

[@SPRasmussen]

3” with small modifications to the shock mount on the lower trading arm. 4” if you relocate the mount on the trading arm.

[@Mojobaggedbnz]

Hi sir I have an early bay window bus I installed my custom air ride however it affected the castor front wheel angle which makes it hard to control over 60km per hour the bus is all over the road 📐 .I need to bring the castor back to about 4degrees as now it's negative any advice on how I can do it ? Will the castor being negative make the bus hard to control ?

[@SPRasmussen]

Hi. If you adjustable caster nut will not take it, the only way to get it back is to move the beam itself. This will take some work to do, as you have to make you mounting holes bigger to move your beam. If you don’t have one with that adjustability

[@kevinhape8584]

What sway bar is that? Is it narrowed 8cm or 11cm?

[@SPRasmussen]

Original narrowed 8cm

[@robellis2011]

fyi vintage autohaus (french slammer) make a -8cm and a -11cm narrowed sway bar.

[@kevinhape8584]

@@SPRasmussen did you just remove the ends? Is there room to remove 11cms? Also what et are those wheels?

[@SPRasmussen]

@@kevinhape8584 I took 8cm out of the center of the sway bar. And you can just take out 3 more. No problem. The ET on the wheels is 45

[@mccoysmakingmemories]

Oh so you cut it down and welded it back together?

[@SundryTalesOfConstance79WESTY]

Nooice? 😎 STOC
