Go-kart front suspension design

Brief description of our go-kart project's front suspension design. This has been designed and fabricated from scratch with only the rose-joints as a bought component.

Material is mostly 20mm RHS with the kingpin and stub axle turned from a solid steel 25mm round bar. Bushes are Delrin over a steel crush tube. The aluminium wheelhub is a special design which I'll cover in another video.

Geometry is conventional double-wishbone with A-frame upper and straight lower arms. KPI is 14° with 10° castor. Camber is adjustable but will probably run at 0°. Designed for a 12" (300mm) x 2.5" (63mm) alloy scooter wheel.
