Schumacher Mi4
#2119

does anyone know if I could use the ECS driveshafts on my mi4. if so what size, because I have seen different sizes. also what are the pros and cons of the short a-arms.

I used the xray 52mm ECS's. I drilled out the schuie blades with a 1.98mm bit to fit over the ends. You have to enlarge the schuie caster blocks openings, so there is more room for movement. you also have to shim the ECS axle. It is a little longer than the stock schuie one. Also have use a clamp type wheel hex.

what is an ECS and why use these in stead of the regular Schuie-axles?

The ECS's are actually double-cardan joints, and basically it acts like two universals which are working together to create the same angle as one universal under full load, without either joint actually being under full load.
The benefit of these is that you get rid of almost all of the "chatter" that is associated with using a solid front axle.
