I was asking soemone about putting suspensn on a 200es and they said they drew up some plans for it.........................they said they were going to use the "IRS swing axel" type suspension, they said it was alot like the old Vw car suspension setup!

What are they saying??? Can anyone clarify this for me???

Thanks

well if im correct swing axle and irs are two different things irs is independant rear suspension and swing axel is like a straight pickup axel with torsion bar. but im not sure my freind knows his vw stuff so ill ask him.

The suzuki utility quads used the swing-axle for a long time....I dont know if they still do or not though....

What is better???
And I saw a pic of an IRS suspension setup, damn that Im sticking to swingarms, much easier!!! :D

I dont get how the axel turns but the outer shock mount doesnt...............is it bearings???
