Mini Steered Suspension
Very small pendular steered suspension. Dimensions are 9x5x5 studs, it can use various gear ratios and transfer the steering further to another suspension module. Step-by-step instruction provided.
Designed as the front suspension for small car models, but durable enough to work in the bigger ones. It’s a very simple construction, that consists of 36 parts, all commonly available, and can be widened, if needed. A great advantage of this design is the possibility to transfer the steering from the front or back of it, or even from both sides – in this case we can use several modules and transfer the steering through them, from one to another. Knob wheels can be obviously replaced with bevel gears, and thus several different gear ratios can be obtained inside the module. It may be problematic, however, to add shock absorbers to this suspension. They can be surely attached to transverse liftarms, but only with suspension wider than 9 studs. As for me, if a model is small enough to require only a 9-studs-wide suspension, it probably has no space for shock absorbers anyway.

Try adding shock absorbers to stabilize it.
ummm, i put this onto a simple chassis and whenever i go to steer the whole thing spins rather then turns

I must have lost it somewhere
