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

A street rod style 4- link with bushings will move around if hit with a lot of power. A friend of mine did this, and said it felt like it had uncontrollable rear steer. He ended up changing over to a race style four link with a panhard bar to fix the problem. Please understand that hiem joints require cleaning and maintenance, even more so when street driven. Ladder bars are very simple in operation, but do not allow you to change instant center length. If it were me in your position, I would install a race four link set up. This speed thing is addictive, and will lead to more power in the future. You might as well plan for unforseen long term needs. Paul Baxter
