Air Ride/PCW Fender Braces

[wiedemab]

I don't think that the purpose of a fender brace is to resist vertical movenment. It designed to mearly hold the rad. support and the fender at a 90 degree angle to each other.

If the length of the sides of a triangle can not change.... neither can the angles. If I remember right from Geometry class, (which I mostly slept through ), it was referred to as the SSS Postulate.

I agree with this in two dimensional space. The heim ends allow for 3d motion though.

It's probably not going to make any difference in this application though because the other ends of the fender and core support are constrained. I think the purpose of these is to just hold the core support in alignment. I doubt whether the stock ones or these add significantly to the rigidity of the vehicle on the whole.
