We are using a Gaged CVT mated to a forward/neutral/reverse gearbox. The 3-link semi-trailing arm suspension looks simple but is very sensitive to the pivoting locations. |
The upright captures the spherical bearings on the upper and lower control arms as well as on the steering linkage. This helps insure the bolts are placed primarily shear loading. |
