Pretty sure that whatever the turtle car is, is swingaxle. Look at that unloaded wheel camber. _________________ nothing |

No, you are seeing bent wheels. You can see the leaf springs if you enlarge the photo. That wheel on the right side of the pic has an outer rim that is bent away from its center. _________________ Formerly known in the forums as "OVALTEEN"
