New Guy w/Project Questions

Hi, new guy here. Received a Project Car from Father. Have a question regarding the attachment points for the rear tie down rod(s). Simply put, does the rear suspension require two tie rods?
If so, where do they attach. If not, I can ***ume the Tie Rod that fits between Point A & Point B will answer the mail. Please review the attached picture for details. Appreciate any ***istance. Best, Doug

 

Hey, Doug. Welcome from E. Tennessee. Is what you're asking about a Panhard bar? Goes from one side of the frame to the axle on the other side? If so, it should run parallel to the rear end and be as long as possible. Mine always ran from the left side of the frame to the right side of the rear end when I was dirt racing. The reason for that was that as the car rolled to the right in a left turn, the Panhard bar pulled the left rear tire into the dirt.

 

Welcome to the HAMB from Illinois.

I'd advise you to post your tech question over here:

Are A and B the upper shock absorber mounts?

 

I believe the upper shock mounts are on that skinny cross member with the rope holding up the nose of the rear end.

 

Thank Alan. Believe this answers the question. I appreciate the explanation….. Makes total sense.

 

No. A and B are simply attachment point for Rod Ends.
