Lada Bronto

Close enough Thys. Well done.

The combined tyre & wheel size is the wrong diameter. So in the event of a puncture, 3 wheels will have 29 inch tyres & the spare will be 27 inch. That’s a significant problem.

More correctly 27,93" for the spare vs 28,88" for the others. This is a difference of 3,4% in dia, which open diffs, even with LSD should handle without drama. As long as the Centre diff remains in the "open" setting, that is. Wind-up is an issue with locked diffs or a bakkie type transfer case

Have another drink. It’s 7%. That’ll cause big issues. I’m referring to off-road, seeing as it’s an off-roader

[ThysleRoux]

My bad - I saw the skinny spare as a 17"

Tot wanneer was die Lads Niva sfa, en wanneer het dit verander na ifs?

Thanks Apoc. Sanity prevails. I have been trying this reasoning with the Metromanne for years. Hopefully they accept your word for it.

Ek was verkeerd.
Ek het gaan kyk, en hulle was nog altyd IFS.

No, they’ve always been IFS.

[Apocalypse]

they always were IFS but part of their reputation for surprising ability is that the arms were comparatively long, which allows for more travel with the CV joints.
