How interesting. So not a Watts linkage at all - you don't get the benefit of the rear axle as an anti-roll bar. That must have made a difference to the handling, surely? Lots more understeer I guess....KevJTD wrote:remember that the later 33 also had both pairs of arms going forward, not each way like the suds...
early Sprints had the Sud suspension, later sprints after about 1986 had the 33 Series 1 suspension.I've now gone cross eyedbert308 wrote:We must stop further confusing by leaving the Sprint out of the discussion. There is no Sprint suspension
The longer front arms for Sud and 33 are not the same length, as the Sud ones end right under the axle in the center of the wheel while the 33 arms end in front of the axle, difference about 5cm. Easy recognizable, 33 arms have guides welded to them for the handbrake cables. About the short rear arms, not sure if the Sud ones are same length as 33 series 1 and 2. Series 3 33 have all 4 arms go to the front so the upper ones are probably not same length as Sud or 33 1&2 rear arms, that would be a great coincidence.
