Shock Linkage

This was my solution to the bottom shock mount on the sidecar. I needed something that allowed differing angles of the shock as it compressed and lengthened, as the shock is mounted at an angle into the wheel hub assembly to allow for clearance from the sidecar frame. The solution was a 3/4" aircraft quality Hiem Joint sourced at a specialty bearing shop. Turned out to be a very good, if expensive solution ($100.00 for this!).
