Re: Type I VW kingpin front suspension
Trailing link front suspensions were used on the Porsche 356 models, and were modified for racing.

Re: Type I VW kingpin front suspension
well, the OP has probably long moved on but, when using castor shims on the beams, sometimes you will need longer bolts(assuming your mounting the front end to a vw frame head). angled washers would be wise as well.
