Leo94 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Found this on youtube, seemed interesting so i decided to share Wouldn't this be better than a solid link as it actually has room to move where as a solid link (from what i see) would move more foreward when both wheels flex down? Edit: This might explain what im trying to say a little bit better Edited February 19, 2012 by Leo94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 That's really interesting. Can't imagine replacing all those shocks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Gotta love how it takes up the whole trunk! I imagine it would move forward, too... not sure but it looks like it's still got links on the outer ends of the axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo94 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Heres another video abit over exaggerated but yeh im guessing this means that most 4 links move back and forth as the suspension flexes? Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heloflyboy Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 That last one is good for showing you how 4 link works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo94 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 The way I see it is this is basically how all 4 links are and perhaps a better way would be to have a bar that can extend not necessarily use shocks in the linkages like in the first video but to use a hollow tube bar with another bar on the inside similar to a shock with some kind of stop so they don't just flex all the way and come undone. This way it wont arc like you see in the third link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo94 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 No worries, Basically im trying to educate my self as much as i can on 4x4 suspension systems as they're my weak spot. I generally work on engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
