my last beam that the machinist f*cked up, and is leaning one wheel, i added 4 grease fittings...
I am interested in the design, and since am engineer and tech..
has anyone ever tried using longer needle bearing or done modification to prolong the life of the beam.
i just cant phantom why they fail so quick...Peugeot had to have some better engineers that this.
I see some people use bronze bushings but that as i have read it changes the ride comfort and its not the same, sticktion comes to mind.
will a VTS beam or GT6 race beam last longer..
How can they have this issue and never corrected it?
original lasted 100,000km... i paid someone to do it, he f*cked it up, and hasn't lasted 10,000km , having one wheel already leaning..
I dont know what this f*cking machinist did, besides put new bearing and called a day.. can I re machine this to be perfectly round size bigger and use longer and bigger size bearing needle.. .. I assume once it starts leaning its worn the beam sideways from the load of the shaft .
