А эту дорогу уже легковушка проехала!)))))

Of course not, it would require precious alloy's for that application. Which would make the vehicle very very pricey.

Thats why ford doesn't want to put a independant suspension on the mustang. It would cost to much and would make the mustang in the price range of a corvette.

Some MB vehicles, Rolls Royce and maybe bentley have aluminum suspension. RR is a 6500lbs+ vehicle, seems to be holding up nicely with it.

@NutStretcher yea but remember, you won't find aluminum in the suspension under a qx56 or lx570. Both very offroad capable with suspension that are very strong made from high tensile steel. Maybe the new QX is different.

@dukviper90 Is this not exactly what I just said????? The guy wasn't dune jumping he just drove through a mud puddle. Im pretty sure his suspension can handle that. Im pretty sure that is what my last comment said, I am not trying to bash you. You seem like a decent guy and smart enough to read a comment without taking it so personal. THUMBS UP!

@NutStretcher Man, that's a hard blow calling me a ford guy. :( I love light weight components. I was only trying

to prove a point. the alloy they use in most cars is not exactly Offroad strong. It's performance on road strong. In Engineering, you find the strongest metal that is lightweight and cheap and that is why the majority of auto companies use it for there dedicated Suvs but luxury auto makers will use aluminum in some parts like the control arms and what not. The chassis is still steel.

@NutStretcher No, I'm a nissan fan in an out. The engineers intended the Fx for only on road use. That is why it is based off a modified FM platform (ie. G35, Z, M etc...). It is not designed to handle off road. Okay you win that this is only mud so it isn't that stress ful but even the awd is not design for this kind of stuff. It is a viscous limited slip so sometimes, only two wheels are spinning. If you want to offroad, take the new QX out since it's based off the patrol, a great offroader.

@form109 Man, I forgot that existed. Love the new ones.

[form109]

@dukviper90 all except the QX.

[dukviper90]

@form109 The whole infiniti Lineup.

Well mr. mechanical engineering major you should also notice that he was just going through mud puddles. Most off road racers in vehicles that compete in baja use alumium suspension components. Running through a couple puddles that are only a inch deep won't ruin anyones suspension. I am also certain Nissan Engineers used a alloy that was able to tolerate years of use in the infiniti. Probably why you don't work for them because in your world everything would be steel. You must be a Ford guy.
