| I wonder what bind they are seeing at 1000 we think we are back to ride height on shocks at that point.which is 1.5 degrees

| Shock sensor doesn't show it just trying to learn something

| We have the goethe on Seabass car with shock sensors and on mine no sensors and regular driveshaft. Sensors show extension at hit and by 1000 ft or sooner back to zero

| I have a ride height and right rear shock sensor, would they show what's needed to determine bind?

mark Williams told me the fix is a Goethe cv driveshaft but that guy is non exsistent...looks like he put some shafts out from 2014-2016 on a regular basis but then things have looked shaky. |

| i saw him at one of the races we went to last year may have been denver.he is still making shafts i think,but not his primary job.seabass has had some success talking with him in the past.i will touch base with him.

| It's not just Mark Williams, most any of the top TD chassis builders recommend a solid car for just that reason. Not saying it can't be done with a soft tail BUT you need the correct components. I tried to google what you are looking for but didn't get much. You may need to find a local drive shaft company that can make one.

| Does he have the patent on it and if not then why doesn't Williams or Inland Empire or Dennys or one of the other driveshaft manufacturers build one that's similar?

| I've never seen one of the Goethe driveshafts in person. But in pictures, they look a lot like the tripod CV axles we used in FSAE cars, when I was in college. I would guess that Goethe put in the engineering to design yokes to work with an existing, off-the-shelf CV joint. Taylor Race Engineering sells all of the components to piece together your own CV axle, but their bread and butter is sports car racing (the FSAE market depends heavily on Taylor). I doubt they stock components that would stand up to T/D power levels. But if you're not getting service from Goethe, Taylor may be worth a phone call. https://www.taylor-race.com/
