These rear adjustable A-frames are manufactured from mild steel tubing and welded in a precision jig.
The mild steel housings for the pivot bushes are fully machine to ensure the correct fit.
The entire frame is TIG welded to maximise strength and to reduce component distortion.
During the assembly process, gussets are welded between the bush housings and frame to reinforce all the pivot points.
A simple turn-buckle is installed in the rear-most part of the frame which provides toe adjustment.
The turn-buckle assembly is fully CNC machined and then zinc plated to provide corrosion protection.
The turn-buckle female inserts are also fully CNC machined and extend for 1.5" inside the frame to ensure maximum thread engagement (anything less is a compromise)
During assembly, all the threaded components are coated with anti-sieze compound prior to welding.
New rear suspension A-frames are available in the following forms -
Lotus Elan - adjustable toe-in
Lotus Elan - standard frame with no adjustment
Lotus Elan +2 - adjustable toe-in
Lotus Elan +2 - standard frame with no adjustment
All A-frames are painted with epoxy paint and are supplied with a two year warranty.
