RevoKnuckle
 
This has been knocking around awhile but it looks like Ford is defiantly using it on the new RS Focus.

So it may be a mod we could use as well :thumbs_up: and I’m sure it will find its way onto the current T5’s. In a nutshell the advantage is less torque steer due to reduced negative scrub and caster change in bump and re-bound due to a revised steering axis inclination (KPI). It may give less feed back to the driver though as it is getting close to zero scrub / centre point steering (old Citroen’s). It’s like reinventing the wheel really as the science of geometry is nothing new, only the cost of putting the best set up into production at a price really stands in the way of progress sometimes :)
