Watts link
Ok guys I'm tired of the side shift in my axle because it feels loose when it cycles through the suspension so I'm going to bite the bullet and go watts.. My question is does anyone have any pictures of how the mounted and set theirs up? This is on my 65 Chevy and I already have the longest bar on it now an still the 1/2" travel to one side or another is felt.

You have a panhard already? http://www.kplinks.com/product.php?productid=160

Re: Watts link
So even if you feel the travel is it bad that it moves that much that it's worth the money and time

Re: Watts link
The kp links one mounts to the diff with the arms to the frame.The other way most are done is like this http://fays2.net/ the center is mounted a piece hanging down from the frame and the arms are attached to the axle.A odd one is the crown vics its on top of the front of the diff http://www.policecars.us/watts_linkage_story.html

Re: Watts link
Right now it's not worth the $400 for a kit so I'm going to stick with what I have right now and maybe next winter.

Re: Watts link
Look around you probably can find a weld on one cheaper then that.

Re: Watts link
Here's what I went with. I don't have my truck on the road yet, but right now I can't imagine going with anything else.

Re: Watts link
I looked at the speedway motors one,The big bracket you weld to your frame the two small ones go on the axle housing,The long one with 3 holes is the center piece you use the center hole to hold it on the other two are for the arms.
