Rebuilding my Torsion Housing and Trailing Arms to fix Geometry and Structural Issues

[@drewdavis4162]

Looks awesome. I need to learn how to fabricate like you someday

[@MiahsBug]

Thanks Drew. You can do it!

[@williamperdomo9581]

Nice.. video man cant wait to ride in that thing

[@MiahsBug]

You trust me ♥️

[@Borntosavena]

Arms turned out great ! 💯 looks súper clean 💯

[@MiahsBug]

Thank you sir! Maybe we can rip Glamis someday!

[@thebinderbuilder]

VERY NICE WORK! Looks awesome! That had to be a ton of work, but it's definitely a HUGE step forward on the project! Oh yeah...I'll be by to get that jig from ya 😂

[@MiahsBug]

It WAS a ton of work! I had a blast trying to finish it over the weekend and I’m very happy with it.

[@VWJawbreaker]

That my friend, is some stellar work!

[@MiahsBug]

Thanks so much Gary!

[@TheRichHodgson]

MIah is more talented than you know. He probably made all the music to go with the video in his spare time.

[@MiahsBug]

Thanks Rich. I actually produced that music after my violin lessons before I sleep my standard 45 min a night.

[@timswitzer792]

Wonder how better that would make the handling on the highway?? Love the idea!

[@MiahsBug]

Handling in straight lines will be better. The camber change helps in corners with body roll and contact patch. Lower tire pressure and contact patch conforms to the terrain. That’s how it works in my head anyway lol

[@MiahsBug]

My car is planned for higher speed desert stuff. I prefer the stability in rough straight lines.

@@timswitzer792 no problem! Let me know if you have any questions about what I did or need help.

@@MiahsBug Fantastic!!! Thanks so much!!

[@hotroddevils5031]

Love you fixture and nice fabrication as always! I feel like + & - camber is a good thing to have on an off road vehicle?, no camber seems more like a drag racing set-up. Even a rear straight axle has + & - camber as is twists. I no expert on this by any means so I'll be curious when you get it finished how it handles, I'm sure you did your research, you're around a lot of baja builders out there that have a lot of experience.

[@MiahsBug]

Yeah, it’s a bit of a controversial subject depending who you talk to. I chose a path I thought was the best based on many different cars. It goes both ways all the way up to full class racing on what is best.

[@hotroddevils5031]

@@MiahsBug I would have never believed theirs so much controversial ways/opinions on all aspects of building a baja until I started my own...trans, roll cages, suspension, steering racks, tire sizes, etc....enough to drive you a little crazy, but that's part of the fun I guess! I find it a little stressful myself😬

[@MiahsBug]

Yeah, there is a hundred ways to do it. Just because I chose a path doesn’t make all others wrong. It is a bit stressful sometimes.

Hey champ the jig steel available and where in so called are you thanks

[@MiahsBug]

Yea sir. All yours. Message me on Instagram or Facebook.

[@SpaceBallOne-fc3ep]

What bushings did you use for the inner pivot?

[@MiahsBug]

They are the 1-3/4” Autofab bushings from Kartek.

[@SpaceBallOne-fc3ep]

@@MiahsBug Thank you

[@kylerose5678]

What wall thickness tube did you use for the “torsion” tube?

[@MiahsBug]

It is 0.120” wall. That is sufficient if properly supported. If used in the stock configuration you would need around 0.250” wall thickness

[@kylerose5678]

@ awesome thank you! Just got back from ocotillo with my 5x5 long travel Manx with a broken torsion tube! Now time for the rebuild!

[@MiahsBug]

@@kylerose5678 ouch. Let me know if I can help in anyway
