snapping tie rod - video
 
Am I right that this is a tie rod snapping on the H2? Ouch!!!

Do the H3 tie rods fare any better?

No it's actually a prototype of the H2 with 4-wheel steer setting up to do an in place spin, sort of like the Jeep Hurricane concept.

It's obviously a chop.

PARAGON 07-27-2006 10:30 PM

Yep, I heard him beg in the video. If you listen real hard, it's pretty evident

actually it should, its called a crumple zone. It is designed to absorbe the energy of the impact by incresing the time it takes for the vehicle(s) to stop. It is a very good design choice, saves many lives.

hmmm....... funny thing. people say the same thing about the tie rods. They break, like a fuse, to lessen the damage to more vital parts.

good point! didnt think of that, guess it is better for the tie rod to break than sum else.

damn, next weekend... it's that soon

I don't think I can swing that. I'm missing all sorts of rides. My local guys are at Morris Mountain this weekend and I decided not to do it.

I know it's a repost, But I'm glad. It's the first I've seen of it. To me it just serves as a reminder not to gas is to hard going through the rock gardens.
