Curious if an x with forward arched arms turning radius is still better than the r’s turning radius? Anyone have a comparison?
I don’t have our X anymore but we did have forward aarms on it. I never measured the turning radius but I didn’t ever feel like it was a noticeable change in its turning radius as I drove it. Now on the Rs we the Hess steering racks without the stops and that has been a more noticeable improvement to the turning radius. I was happy with our forward aarms on the X.Curious if an x with forward arched arms turning radius is still better than the r’s turning radius? Anyone have a comparison?
My R has the turning radius of an aircraft carrier.My X turns on a dime
My R has the turning radius of an aircraft carrier.But if it helps with CV life (probably) I'm good with it.
Even better with it against a tree with some kickers and lotsa skinny pedal -Mash the throttle and it will turn as sharp as you want.![]()
I have 1 1/2" forward arched SATV Arms on my 2023 X2 and my 32" x 11.5 TSL Swampers (mounted on Method 6+1 Bead Grip wheels) barely rub at full turn & Stuff (Both at the same time). IMHO 33"s will need to be skinny to have a chance of working.I just put fwd arms from SATV on my X so i could fit 33's. The turning radius is not as good as before but still better than an R.
The 11.5” wide is the bigger factor making yours rub. We have put 33s on an X (10” wide) with the SATV 1.5 forward aarms and had plenty of room. We could have even gone bigger without rub.I have 1 1/2" forward arched SATV Arms on my 2023 X2 and my 32" x 11.5 TSL Swampers (mounted on Method 6+1 Bead Grip wheels) barely rub at full turn & Stuff (Both at the same time).
