Anyone have advice or links for a triangulated 4 link front suspension?

[ChestonScout]

Since I have screwed up my front suspension once all ready I want to make sure I do it right this time. I am considering doing a triangulated 4 link but I would like to learn as much as possible about it before I decide. My other option is a link setup with a panhard. I all ready have a panhard built from my radius arm setup so I just dunno.

Any help will be appreciated

If you are using a stock / mechanical steering, you may want to stick with using a panhard up front. Triangulating a front with draglink steering will cause massive bumpsteer.

I run a 3 link front so I don't have to use a panhard(i built a panhard and ripped my frame off in the driveway) but it requires having hydraulic assist to steer.

We need more details. Street driven or trail only? What kind of steering system? Pics would help so we can tell how much room you have where. Coilovers, airshocks, coils, quarter elliptic, etc.?

I've been running a 3 link front, with a wishbone, I have severe steering issues when I drop the right tire, I can't turn far enough right, because there is enough flex in the bushings it let's the wishbone turn the couple inches(at the end) it takes to cause me steering difficulties. I'm removing the wishbone, and adding panhard bar/radius arm(type) or dogleg 4 link, and airshocks. Still deciding, I've drawn it out 4-5 times.

The scout is mostly trail driven. The only time its on the street is in Moab between trails and such. I do want it to be somewhat road worthy though. There are a few pics on my progress thread under general 4x4 talk. I am running deaver coils from a 79 bronco. Steering is a scout box to a high steer arm on a dana 60 with hydro assist all ready on.

There actually isnt a whole lot of room under the front so I dunno if I could make a triangulated system work or not
