The Jeep Hurricane is a concept vehicle unveiled by Daimler-Chrysler at the 2005 North American International Auto Show. It opened with and continues to receive rave reviews! So many in fact that it was rumored that Daimler-Chrysler was considering a limited production run of the vehicle. Those rumors have died down, but the Hurricane continues to draw the interest and attention of 4x4 afficianados, and hey, why not?

As the Daimler-Chrysler spokesman said: "Jeep Hurricane is simply the most maneuverable, most capable and most powerful 4x4 ever built. It pays homage to the extreme enthusiasts' Jeep vehicles in form and off-road capability, but is a unique interpretation of Jeep design. Simply stated, it is the extreme example for the Jeep brand."

Why build such a vehicle? The Hurricane broadly successfully and dramatically illustrates Daimler-Chrysler's ingenuity, technical ability and wherewithal. Still, the Hurricane does have practical applications out in the real world. As a Daimler-Chrysler spokesman put it, "Out in the wilderness, changing direction in minimal space can mean the difference between an afternoon of adventure and a distress call back to the trailhead.....The multi-mode four-wheel steering system on Jeep Hurricane is designed to offer enthusiasts the next level of performance and unexpected maneuverability." It's not hard to imagine that we'll eventually see a military vehicle built off of this original design.

The Hurricane possesses an extremely powerful power system with not one but two 5.7-liter HEMI engines, one in the front and one in the back. Both engines deliver an impressive 335 horses for a total of 670 hp. The Hurricane set-up uses the Chrysler Group's Multi-Displacement System which allows it to run on 4, 8, 12 or all 16 cylinders enabling it to adjust for speed, power and torque giving the driver ultimate power train control. The Hurricane is responsive and can go from 0 to 60 in less than five seconds!

The power is transferred through a central transfer case with split axles and has a mechanically controlled four-wheel torque distribution system. The suspensions, both front and rear, are short/long arm independent with 20 inches of travel, featuring coilover shocks with remote reservoirs.

One of the most impressive features of the Hurricane is its zero turning radius, which enables the vehicle to turn virtually in a circle in place! This is all thanks to a skid steer capability and toe steer, which is the ability to turn both front and rear tires inward. The Jeep concept vehicle has two types of 4-wheel steering: the traditional method with the rear tires turning opposite of the front wheels and an innovative one in which all four wheels turn in the same direction. This actually allows the Jeep Hurricane to move sideways without changing where it is pointing.

Topping off all of this is the Hurricane's fantastic ground clearance of 14.3 inches and impressive approach-departure angles of 64.0 and 86.7 degrees. It really is a go anywhere do anything vehicle.

The Hurricane also features an innovative way to combine body, power-train and suspension. The suspension along with the power-train is mounted directly to the one-piece carbon fiber reinforced body, eliminating the weight and need for a frame. The vehicles belly is protected and connected by an aluminum spine, which acts as a huge skid plate mechanism. This is a lightweight and structurally strong set-up.

The general public wasn;t the only ones who loved what they saw. The Jeep Hurricane won Autoweek's "Most Fun" Concept award at the 2005 North American International Auto Show. As we noted earlier there were rumors that Daimler-Chrysler was toying with the idea of a limited production, but those rumors have died down amid the company's statement that this was indeed a concept vehicle and that's all (at least for now). Kids, however, will be able to enjoy the Hurricane as Fisher-Price has introduced an all-new Jeep Hurricane toy.

Poly Suspension Bushes: Best Solution for Poor Performance

Ordinary suspension bushes perform the same functions as they act as noise and vibration absorbers for your car, they maintain the alignment of your car chassis, they make the steering geometry perfect. And for doing all these they do a lot of hard work but if these are ordinary ones made up of nylon or ordinary rubbers then it is not good for the health of your car. Your car needs polyurethane made suspension bushes known as poly suspension bushes.

Speed is the natural quality of your car and it is your duty to explore it, but how? This is a big question. One of the main functions of the suspension bushes is enhancing the road grip of the tire which in turn results in optimum speed and smoothness of your car. So, if you want to maintain this speed then you must ensure that you are using the best quality of bushes and for that poly suspension bushes are the best choice. These are made by the most latest technologies so that they become more and more resilient.

In fact, resilience is one quality which makes poly suspension bushes superior to the ordinary ones. Polyurethane has excellent resilience, springing back it to the original shape effortlessly to absorb shock and prevent dirt ingress and wear. So, after a hard work it comes into its original shape in very less time and it is a combination of high tensile strength and elasticity. Polyurethane's elasticity allows control arms to move as intended while its tensile strength soaks up stress from cornering, braking, accelerating and poor road surfaces.

Due to these qualities poly suspension bushes should always be used in your car. You must take your car to the mechanic after riding more that 10,000 miles and get the bushes checked. If he suggests then don't hesitate to buy the best one even though it is a little bit costly. After all your car and time is much costlier.

how to replace a front lower suspension arm, also called a wishbone i think?

i slid off a roundabout hitting the curb with my wheel turned and brakes locked in the wet. the car suddenly stopped, it didnt jump over and was doing about 20mph, maybe less. i just about managed to get home but it seriously pulled to the right. i had a look this morning and the front lower suspension arm has warped, and the joint were in goes onto were the disc brake is has twisted. the alloy wheel isnt too bad, taken a little bit of rubber, nothing to worry about and bit off alloy but thats the least of my worries. whats it like changing this arm, my dad and i have reasonably mechanic knowledge but this is just something we've never done before. any help and advise will be greatfully recieved lol. o and its a 1994 ford escort. thanks:)
do you think i should get a replacement arm from a scrap yard or buy a new one? how much do you think im looking at roughly?

purchase the replacement part first.then look at it and it will explain itself.the tool you will need the most will be a tie rod/ball joint seperator.its a fairly easy job.get a wheel alignment when done.
