You can also fabricate front suspension by using guide bolts, valve springs from a V-8,and valve retainers. | |

| A single transverse leaf spring would not be a simple system. You would need to stop forward and back movement, side to side movement with the shackles. You would have arms and pivot points all over. It would look cool, but a real pain to set it up. | |

| fearless on his murry mudder has a solid front end. do you think that's good? I kinda want to do it
I locked the front on mine and while the rode is a bit rougher its not too bad. My locker (a 5/16" bolt) actually wore out or something so I have like 1/8" of play. | |

If you wanna get your ass kicked you should, why do you think dune buggies or similar have a throw of 60". - smooth ride. | |

| by richie thomas on Wed Apr 17, 2013 7:24 pm why not mount a single leaf spring the length of your front axle ? You cpuld but you would have to have a 4 or 3 link setup to keep the axel in place. | |

| This is the front of my murray widebody LT. This is the 4 link bars on the side of the frame. ![suspension - Front Suspension Image15](https://i.servimg.com/u/f56/18/82/17/81/image15.jpg) This is the panhard bar on front. ![suspension - Front Suspension Image16](https://i.servimg.com/u/f56/18/82/17/81/image16.jpg) This is the front look at the motor and shock tower ![suspension - Front Suspension Image11](https://i.servimg.com/u/f56/18/82/17/81/image11.jpg) This is the finish product. ![suspension - Front Suspension Image14](https://i.servimg.com/u/f56/18/82/17/81/image14.jpg) This is mostly made of lawnmower parts and some off of a chineas atv. I rebuilt the steering and changed it all over to single tierod and atv tierod ends. All link rodends come from www.racingrodends.com. Link bars where custom made out of tool steel. Works great. | |

| Thanks alot. I wonted to keep it as original lookin as possible. Your build sparked alot of ideas as well. I had thought of mounting tranny on its side how does that work out. The hardest part of the front suspintion was working out the shock tower and how to support it and keep it all under that small murray hood. | |
