Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Antique Cars / June 2004Over wheel king pin
[My apologizes for the cross post in rec.autos.sport.tech] Hello group, I am wondering if any cars ever used what I can best describe as an "over wheel king pin", so that the axle is supported on both sides instead of one. Graphically, the "over wheel king pin" would look like an upside down U going over the wheel; so that the wheel axle attaches to each side of the bottom of the upside down U, and the track arm(s) pivot on the side of the upside down U. Thanks in advance for any info, Malcolm Keller Beyer III Seems to me that some of the early cycle cars had something like that. The Briggs powered go-kart thingie, perhaps? Engineering-wise, it doesn't make much sense; instead of adding the weight of the U-frame, why not just make the axle bigger? Easier to install and adjust the wheel bearings, too.
