I have started my 4 link project, I have read and re-read tons of 4 link post here and on pirate, I have got the basic idea but would like some input before I start welding!
I'll post some pics to give u an idea what I've got so far see if you can help me tune it a bit more.....
A little info first,
Wheelbase 110
Cog 48 (bell housing bolt) tall I know.....
Frame 28
Axle height 19
The pic on the graph paper shows a 60in lower link on a 8degree angle below frame mount (seems kinda long)
The pic on the vehicle is a 60in link on a 10 degree angle to a side frame mount (keeps bracket from getting hung up)
As u can see the links go pretty far forward on the vehicle.... Good or bad? If I shorten them I will end up with more angle or I build the mount above the center on the axle.....
If something is wrong on the graph paper I wouldn't be surprised so don't be afraid to tell me!
My vertical separation at the axial would be around 10 but the frame end would be a lot closer
Is 10 degrees to steep? I've read 5 to 10 is acceptable..... I could make my uppers flat but that wouldn't leave much vertical separation at the frame end....
I based the graph off a pic on pirate so I know it's perfect!! Tell me if I missed interpreted it, thanks
