Engineering behind chassis: high and low-friction parts
When it comes to chassis parts, simplicity is the key to success. Overengineering components can not only make it more difficult to perform repairs, but it some cases may cause earlier repairs/failures in certain scenarios. What is overengineering? Overengineering is often described as designing a product or solution in an unnecessarily complicated way where a
