Re: Rear 4-Link Suspension SALE!!
you say your kit offers weight transfer. and that "parallel" 4 bars do not offer transfer...but your kit is a parallel 4 bar with a panhard. so which is it? also from what I've studied weight transfer has to do with instant centers and your anti-squat %, not really your link layout.
also, you say your panhard has less "radial deflection" than shorter bars...correct me if Im wrong but radial deflection would be deflection in the direction of the radius of the tube which would be the deformation of the actual cross section shape of the tube. so if S is your cross section shape and X is your length then your saying your ds/dx is less than a shorter bar. which means you either have a thicker wall or are using some superior metal since a shorter tube will always deflect less than a longer tube if they are the same size/shape/material.
but anyways, Im having trouble figuring out how exactly radial deflection of the tube has anything to do with how awesome the bar is? In my mind as long as the tube maintains its length through the range of forces it sees then its A-ok. this would be axial deformation correct?
also, I've wondered for years and I've read the "about no limit" part of your website, but do you or anyone on your staff have a degree in engineering?
I mean no disrespect to you, Rob, or anyone on your team. I do fear that many people will read this ad and see the big words and just nod with approval. The whole industry is moving away from the "where there's a welder there's a way" mantra and more into the calculated "engineered" way of things, which I totally dig being that I study mechanical engineering.
