CEN cvds, arms and hubs on a savage

[Jahay]

Firstly Linc! Thanks for being the guinea pig!
Secondly! thanks for getting on this asap!

Now it is question time...

1. Width.
Obviosuly the LST will offer a wider stance, due to the longer arms and wider protruding hub. But is the CEN Kit overall wider than the savage arms and hub or a tiny bit narrower?

2. Bearings.
Wouldnt it just be possible to get rubber sheilded bearings instead of the metal face ones or would there be a fitment problem? And do you think the LST 3 bearing mod would be better than the CEN 2 bearings?

3. Do you think the lower arm of the CEN is weaker than the savage arm? and does it accept the stock savage hinge pin that fits through the bulk?

4.Would there be any problems mounting the stock shocks or would mods have to be made?

5. Do you think the Hubs on the LST2 are thicker and tougher (considering you can get alloy ones) than the CEN ones? and which one do you believe offers more steering throw?

6. The CEN doesnt have the style or rear hub like the LST or the possible use of the savage tie rod delete. Does this mean the CEn would neeed a rear turnbuckle supported of the bulkhead?

7. Diff Axles and CVDs.
Obviously the CVDs are going to be the strongest... but are they hollow? the look hollow to me for some reason, otherwise they must be very heavy?
Does a CEN Axle really need to be used? Why couldnt the SHD axle be used... there maybe a little movement but the large pins should keep it in place right? But in your opinion do you think the vorza axle could work... here are a couple of pics compared to an SHD axle... it seems almost exactly the same?






In your honest opinion... what do you think would be tougher... (not easier to install) yes the lst2 hubs require moving the savage arm furthur out, but do you think the custom hinge pin braces are just as strong as utilising the stock bulk and crappy stock bulk braces?

Thanks linc
