4link vs. 3link - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I dont understand why you would build a 3 link... lower parallel links upper wishbone. instead of a 4 link.. parallel lowers triangulated uppers.

they both seem to be the exact same amount of work and math to build, but from what I've read the 4link gives better axle control. the only benifit I can see to using a 3link is one less joint to buy.

thanks for info
josh
