Suspension Issues on Latest Creation

[Aardvarkian Koala]

My latest creation is an offroad truck. I've experimented with solid axle suspension, and simple independent suspension, however both seem to be having issues working correctly. The suspension on acceleration bounces, and seems to glitch out, making it fully impossible to drive. It's the first creation I'm giving my all on, and this is quite frustrating to say the least. My simple tests all went well, but now that the truck is 80% complete, the suspension just doesn't cooperate. My simple truck concept works perfectly with my Solid Axle, and basically just as well with independent. Currently stuck dead in the water, as google has not been my friend.

I have been using this type of suspension

subscribe and check it out in creative. I did not come up with this i saw it on you tube a few months ago.

you will have to rebuild it of course from scratch in creative but you can break this down and rebuild it. you MUST use the welder for it to work correctly.

for the non turning style it is slightly different.

None of your links work.

@Nordo
Did you build it in survival? Happened to me too. Works with the strong creative bearings, but survival bearing just cant keep up. Also survival has more heavy stuff.
I put concrete slabs in creative on my vehicle, but they are still way too light.

I built it in creative, which is what has me confused. I've never had the suspension issue before. I'll probably end up doing something to strengthen my bearings, which I probably should have done anyways, and go with a more advanced suspension setup. I'll update if the more advanced suspension stops the glitching.

I made my own version of proper independent suspension which has fixed the bouncing with my suspension. Unfortunately I created another suspension glitch, but it's one I can live with. Pretty proud of myself for actually creating my own ind. sus, though. First engineering solution I've tried myself that worked lol

spectacular!!!
could you upload it via the lift to the cloud and post hyperlink here?

[Aardvarkian Koala]

Probably plenty of better complex systems, but I'm happy with it as my first attempt.

I'm not sure how to keep my wheels flat on the ground, though. That's about the biggest gripe I have with it.

[DC-GS]

At first glance looks like a double wishbone with extra pipes.
But you miss the parallel parts to prevent camver on the wheels.

At least thats my guess from the picture alone.

[Aardvarkian Koala]

Yeah, it's a double wishbone setup. Not sure how to do the parallel parts bit to prevent the camber. Suspension glitch also makes it relatively floaty.

[DC-GS]

As far as I can see, you connected your wheel to the lower pipe. I see a pipe going up, parallel to the wheel. This pipe will stay parallel. Connwct the wheel to it.

You have a lot of redundant bearings. Dunno how much stability they add, but they will kill your FPS.

[Aardvarkian Koala]

Seriously appreciate the advice. Got the camber fixed! Think I'll work on downsizing the setup to make it fit better into smaller creations as best I can now.

[DC-GS]

Good luck and have fun.

The next step would be to make it adjustable.
You could add another bearing to the base of the pipe going up to the suspension and let it rotate down a bit to move the wheels down for more ground clearance.
