Re: Triangulated Vs. Parallel Vs. Pro- Street 4 Links

Paul is correct. The 4-link bars nead to be looked at from a side view. Continue the line they are on from rod end to rod end. When the upper meets the lower, that the actual IC distance from the tire.

Most the time you will find a ladder bar has a shorter IC distance than a 4-link.


Paul, A buddy of mine races old gassers. His 57 actually uses a ladder bar where the front hole is about equal to the door hinge. Talk about a looooonnnnggggg ladder bar. But the car is up in the air with a solid axle front end.
