Looks like a cool, whatever it is  ;D

Looks like half of one thing and another,
like it's half a front diff bracket and half
control arm ???

I need another view, can't quite get the
shape, I don't think it's flat, looks to have
some 3D shaping to it

with the race it looks like some sort of drop support for an axle shaft.

Im leaning tward making a complete new frame for the front suspension starting at the point where the frame stretch took place on the rockstar. In doing this I want to be able to run the upper control arms under the oilpan, to the center of the rig. Comments welcome!

Mike

I was kind of thinking it would be cool to do something like this on my GV someday.. I was thinking upper control arms a bit higher than that but lower control arms as close to the center as physicly possible.. I was also thinking of doing a different diferential mounted in the center much like it apears you have done only with the CV's connecting closer to it... I was just getting crazy ideas... can't wait to see what you rig will look like with all this work... sounds like a freaking awesome project!

Nobody is going to guess it - and we'll all say "why didn't I think of that" when we read about it in the writeup  ;D
Whatever it is, good design work. I'm super excited to see all the pictures and to read all about it.
