Alf weibe Suspension

I have read there are 4 iterations of this suspension, can anyone PM me the differences in the iterations?

Mike, why not ask the guy that made the statement a few years ago, the same guy that's been running this suspension for the past 9 years, the same guy that has made far more passes with it than anyone else and the same guy/the only guy according to Alf that has gone a best of 1.28 60 foot @ 3880lbs. with it, powered by his stout pump gas oval port headed 468...

and who last year went 1.36 60 foot with the back tires with his new engine on a restrictor plate....

same guy that has tried to help you for years!

Ed....you are the person I know would know the differences between the 4 versions and I am glad you responded because you were the person I wanted to ask. I have an old email address of yours and it didn't work, so I was hoping that you would be around one of these forums. So can you email / PM describing the different versions?

Mike, version 1/the original and version 2 are the same except with the addition of gussets and a sleeve incorporated after I broke/bent the passenger side arm.

Version 3 is not legal for stock eliminator and the one I had been running for the past ~5 years

Version 4 is the latest, developed a few years ago and the one that Alf is selling to stock eliminator racers now as a result of the issue with Kevin Borgstrom's car last year in Division 5.

I heard that the "x-pattern" looking lower control arm, was switched to more of a "V" (the round bar meeting up with the square tubing at the front lower mounting point? Is this true?

I believe the one I have is "Version 3" since it has all the gussets, andalso has all the adjustments available on the upper (relocating bar) and the lower bar to adjust square / pinion angle / wheelbase.

If your lower arms are an X you have version 2.

Version 3 and 4 are V but the forward attachment point is not the same.

Ed...Check your PM
