idea

i have been thinking of doing a sas for a wile now, i know im going to do a trailing arm set up with coils i was wondering if i could use the same set up as the rear axle in these pathfinders, do u think it would work?

it would workbut youll lose articulation compared to a 3 link w/ panhard or triangulated 4 link. the reason being the link ends will bind under articulation but youll gain some back depending on the links end. the 5 link screads the load across more of the frame then say a radius arm. if you gonna put the design and effort to do a coil set up i would do it toward a 3 link with panhard for the front. 4 link front ends have steeering issues and would probably have to go to hydro steer because the tri 4 link would casue major bumpsteer....IT all also depends on what your using it for. are u planning on street driving it

[Nismojunky]

yes im planning on street driving

[packie88]

then i would do a 3 link wiht panhard or radius arm
