Can your axle turn 60 degrees?

Jaydog · Jan 13, 2008

I was reading a pretty cool article about the new axle from Twisted Customs that allows you to turn 60 degrees, just thought I'd share.

actually right at the point where the inner knuckle and the knuckle collide, they are only turned 58 degrees:fawkdancesmiley: they are liars, but I guess who the hell is gonna advertise 58 degrees of steering.

I might be wrong but I think there using spidertrax's spider9's and ultimate 1550 knuckle's in that write up!

I still cant get on pirate to see But I think these are the knuckles and housing's. :masturbanana[1]:

Yes, they are Spider 9's with 1550 knuckles
One of the 3 f&r sets we are currently building was supposed to use the 1550's, but are not gonna be available in time, so they are all getting Ultimate 60 stuff.

well I tell my buddys mine turns 50 degrees but only you guys really know it only turns 48 degrees:redneck:

mine will be limited to only 45 degrees, but a hell of a lot better then the 28-30 degrees that my toy axles would turn.

I'm 45* but really only 42*.:;

In theory, all you need is 45* (front and rear:flipoff

to spin in a circle.

Oh, and…..R

Huh?
I'm fairly sure that every vehicle I have ever driven can turn in a circle.
To turn within your own wheelbase you need 90* with both axles.:redneck:
