Re: A little 4link help (Inner bars)

I might.

It looks like you have enough triangulation there, but you have to be aware of where your driveshaft will come into play. It will hit your mounts where they are at. And if you move them up above the drive line you will possibly end up putting your instant center behind the axle. Not desirable.

It also looks as if you could build a wishbone out of the links you have. If you have one of the threaded ends you cut off, you could build something like this.



Here is another setup. The bars are not a perfect 45 degrees, I think I remember them being about 38-40 degrees

Well that triangle i have in the picture is a 45,45,90*. Maybe im over thinking/looking at this but the angle of my bars are at a 65* angle. maybe im measuring wrong?
