hilux two link rear?

[dbeverett]

A mate of mine just bought a dual cab coily lux and its got a setup I've never seen before, sort of like a triangulated 4link with the bars welded together so its a two link/ladder bar/ radius setup?
Just wondering if anyones seen something similar before, it seems pretty beefy and works half decent offeiad but just curious of the pros and cons of it

i think u mean an A frame set up, the top joins at the diff in 1 place and at the chassie in 2 places, like an 'A' they can work very well but can also if not setup right induce alot of rear steer

[dbeverett]

Nah I know what a wishbone threelink is.
This Is like a ladder bar either side, picture a single mounting point at the chassis going to two on the diff, then the same on the opposite side and a panhard to keep it all straight

[johnsy86]

sounds like its a jeep style radius arm setup

[dbeverett]

Yeah similar to the y-arms those guys run, just never seen them on the rear before.
I'm on my phone at the moment so I can't upload pics, I'll try and get some up tomorrow when I get on a pc.

Sounds like home made or aftermarket radius arms

radius arm 3 link.

How does it flex?

[dbeverett]

seems to go alright, certainly not earth shattering but it doesnt struggle too much. he hasnt had it long enough to see if it'll give him any issues on road, off camber or on hill climbs

According to the sticker on that green bar, it was made or fitted my the guys at Mental 4x4.
Paging Darren.

He would have alot more info on how it works.

Its just a fancy radial arm bro

There I's a vechicle up home that runs it. Race vechicle of course. Gets the power down really well. So I don't bongos it flexes tho but seems like it obsorbs really well

How did it handle? Off camber and that sort of shit? Need to do something with the ass of my surf before I sas it and looking at options, needs to be stable offroad but not be a pig onroad
