Greetings long time no post.
I just got tasked with looking into an older style 4.6 Mustang susp and heard of a home made 3 link rear susp setup. Anyone know what this is? Maybe its lower control arms and a custom torque arm and no upper control arms? My thoughts on the rear is a set of lower control arms with adj spring mounts and adj upper control arms, but this 3 link thing is interesting. |

Howdy,
Oh yeah. For a poor man's 3 link, pull the driver's side arm. Leaving the passenger side arm will help plant the right rear under acceleration (not as much as a properly engineered offset 3 link, but something is better than nothing). Mark |

Thanks all I found the Steeda 5 link stuff which looked smart but must be a d@mn tight fit in that rear area.
I was curious and couldn't remember the poor man's setup. I'm gonna stick to my guns with the adj upper arms and adj spring lowers. Its on a vertible stang with no extra power so its p!$$!ng in the wind anyway. I'm just the wrench dummy and only suggest and guy buys and supplies diet cokes (stopped drinking beer a while ago (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) ). Also for those with bad memories like mine, I remember a setup for the 4 link rears on Chevelles that used a cage type connection on the upper arms - making the upper arms into a single arm. This was drag race only and built up by a super stock canada guy I think. |
