Finding one is easier said than done!
Both bars are mounted 26 degrees from centerline or 52 degrees of separation. I planned to box the back side of the tabs on the axle. HOWEVER...
I have a 71 Bronco! I am not too concerned with movement, just curious what is normal and the fact that every thread on here states mount your...
Any idea how much side to side movement you have? Any pictures of your setup?
The threaded portion of the bolt was slipping in the flange. Granted it was minimal movement but once the slop in the rubber bushing was taken...
That's why I am here asking the questions. How are you supposed to know what you are building, and what the outcomes will be if you have never...
This is my first install, so I just really didn't know what was acceptable and what was not. I have also never driven/own a 4 link vehicle....
Haha, you guys are hilarious.... But seriously, 400-500 HP in a 56 F100, on rural mountainous roads in WV, I want something that handles well....
How does this movement affect drivability? Would this movement not introduce some rear steer when cornering?
You didn't answer the question though. Is some side to aide normal?
Those bolts came with the kit. I plan to replace them with bolts with a full shoulder that are a proper length. They are just temporary. The...
Is any side to side movement acceptable/normal of the axle on a triangulated four link? Now that mine is all bolted in and the truck is on the...
Correct, and it would throw out the angle even worse with the offset engine.
I actually used a string line to set everything off of. However mixing and matching axles, engine mounts/crossmembers the drive line sort of "is...
Ha what for?
Everything is offset about 1.5 inches to the passenger side with the rear diff a bit more. Beauty of a straight 6. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Haha, more worried about vibrations!
It is at ride height now. Any weight from the body will be compensated for when I tighten up the springs. [ATTACH]
It is slightly offset so it should take care of the bearings.
So I set all of this up so that everything is basically in a straight line. Engine is 2.3 degrees down, pumkin is 2.3 degrees up, and the...
Funny thing is, I actually completely understand that and have never raced a day in my life. I live in WV, nothing but mountains and curves. I...
1. That Diagram is out of the Milliken and Milliken Race Car Vehicle Dynamics textbook. Obviously that doesn't mean it is right, but if it is...
I emailed them!
Not quite sure what you mean? I added the red lines, those are what I am questioning...
I have not been able to find a diagram that exactly matches the way my 4 Link is installed. This is the closest one I could find and wanted to...
Well I can get 30. i will be shortening and re threading the bars. Took me a bit to get everything in place. Everything will tuck inside the...
I will get a picture of what I am actually doing for the front mount. Ive approached it differently, but it still allows me to position it in a...
There not in yet. Im still finishing the frame.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I have an upper bar...not shown in pictures. Problem is, with the upper cross bar, it pitches the upper arms up, and the anti...
1. It had leafs with a flipped axle. 2. To have room for a soft bump stop. 3. Once again....you CANNOT obtain separation on the bars. Thus...
Separate names with a comma.
