Clearly, I am making some very basic mistake with this idea. It seems like it ought to work but it doesn't. The shock in the position I've put it just doesn't appear to compress, the pivot point aren't pivoting. I expected the fame members the wheels are attached to to move up/down with the shocks providing some resistance but it acts like I just have another fixed cross peice there and the pivots don't. WTF am I doing wrong here, folks?

@rbiemer i downloaded your car and works well, needs some strength and damper at 250% every one, and the hinge rotators at 90º floppy
@ZHUAREVONI, played around with this a bit before I head to work this morning and, after adding the hinge rotators, it still is just not a great idea...this vehicle is too heavy for a single shock at the top end and once I added enough--3 minimum and 4 were better--it just looked awful. So, for a small/light vehicle this might be ok but I'll need to think about a better geometry or a completely different suspension for this pos. :)
@ZHUAREVONI thank you!
needs hinge rotators between the shocks
