not only bush seperation at axle end but overall length of RA plays a roll...btw if you flex a LR/RR arm with no axle case you will see that the chassis end bush/mount is not the limiting factor.....it is the binding of the axle bushes....

Re: Custom rear coil suspension 3link

80/100 and gq/gu rear suspensions are 4 link plus panhard (or if you like 5 link). They have 2 lower and 2 upper links (control arms) and a panhard rod.

A 3 link rear suspension would have 2 lower and 1 upper links plus a panhard.



Yeah was thinking of removeing the panhard rod and A frameing the ...
