I saw a similar setup on another website and adapted it to my car. Most quarter-elliptic frontends I've seen use friction shocks when they're out in front as far as this one is.

This is really just a hydraulic assisted friction shock.

The arms use delrin or teflon discs for to stabilize them on the frame and provide some friction. Don't know for sure what they're made of because I pulled the material out of the scrap pile at work. I turned a bronze bushing for the arm to turn on. The outside plates are going to get a "tail" welded on so they can be pinned to the frame. That way they won't turn and cause adjustment problems. The axle bolt will get the same treatment.
