watts link

Anybody in here running a watts link, I `m thinking of building one and using the rear axle center pin as the pivot point, and making the out board ends adjustable...anybody see a problem with the offset of the locating pin on the axle....?

Re: watts link

If you're talking about using the panhard bar stud on the differential, I don't think it will work since it is at a little bit of an angle.

There has been some discussion on here before about Watts links. You might try a search both here and in the suspension forum.
