1.0 out of 5 stars Very small amount of tech here., September 6, 2003

Doug Feger (So. San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chassis & Suspension Handbook (Petersens 4 Wheel & Off Road) (Paperback)

Thw whole book is just collection of articles taken from previous magazines. Many disgraceful ad plugs. Very little tech. A very disappointing book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money!!!, August 4, 2004

J. George - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Chassis & Suspension Handbook (Petersens 4 Wheel & Off Road) (Paperback)

Very little tech info. The title is misleading. The book covers some basic stuff like types of suspension, but lacks any real substinance. It covers mostly the installation of after market suspensions and not "how to build rugged off-road suspensions." Almost all of the chapters are taken directly out of the magazine. Save your money and skip this book.
