: Where to learn about 3 and 4 link suspensions BabyWrangle 09-07-2001, 07:57 PM I'm contemplating building a 3 or 4 link setup for my YJ using dual rate coilovers and I was wondering where I could learn all about the suspension geometries involved. If it makes a difference I will be running this with 39.5" Boggers and full width axles. Station 09-07-2001, 08:29 PM Do a search on this board. There have been quite a few posts on the topics you are asking about. Sean BabyWrangle 09-07-2001, 08:52 PM I was looking for more of a book or something where I could find info about lengths of the links and angles and such.

If I dont go to 3 or 4 link with coilovers, I'll be running 4" springs on top of the SOA to clear 39.5s on those full width axles I mentioned. I want to do something different with my YJ and I think coilover is the way to go. I have the fabrication skills to do it, I just want to know about the geometries and such so I get it right the first time. nasvik 09-08-2001, 08:57 AM Babywrangle - Check out a book called Chassis Engineering. Geared mostly for race cars, but it will introduce you to the concepts you need to know.

Paul</STRONG> Finally a real answer <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> Thanks nasvik <IMG SRC="smilies/cool.gif" border="0"> 1BDYJ 09-08-2001, 11:17 AM there's a co. called Chassis Engineering in Florida..Big with the racers. There web site is under const but phone #'s are there. go to www.chassisengineering.com (http://www.chassisengineering.com) maybe they can help rondob 09-08-2001, 02:03 PM Also check out HP Books "Making Your Car Handle". While it is geared more to race car set up it is loaded with tons of suspension geometry info. Rondo | |
