Support the A-arms or you might be buying new tripod CV joints.

Also, it doesn't alternate low/high resistance. It generates an AC voltage. Measure accordingly.
My fiero is aliiiive!!

I should qualify; I thought it'd be obvious that you wouldn't give it ANY kind of speed... While the struts are in place, I've never seen the tripods over-extend... Has this happend to you?


And as for the sensor, I thought it was a hall-effect sensor, (one pulse per rotation, 2000 per mile) since it has a 5v reference?

Possibly my memory is just false... Most likely my memory's false.

4000 pulses per mile for a Fiero transmission

What'd I say about false memory?

No really... I forget. :scratch:
