does anyone know if 80 rear bushes will press into GQ rear control arms?
Ive got a set of GQ rear arms but want to use 80 bushes in them because of the larger diameter bolts, im looking at changing my rear suspension setup to run only a single upper link in the centre as apposed to two upper links in a 5-link,
what are your thoughts and has anyone got any pics of their setups?

most buggys are running a 3link with panhard, sounds cool to me :cool: I run 3 link at both ends on my buggy, flex is good.

Dont know how it would handle on the road or at speed, not too good me thinks, if you were after flex and handling an A-frame might be a better option.

Mock :D

yeah thanx Mock for your input, my mates run an A-frame in their comp 40 but i wanna sorta keep all factory sorta parts for ease of engineering and also at the end of the day it is still a daily driver, atm im running a 3link using cast arms similar to patrol front arms and a panhard rod, but the arms dont allow much travel, im still umm and ahhhing wether to just go the GQ arms and make it a 5-link or leave one of the top arms out and make it a 3link with a panhard rod, just looking for a bit more flex i suppose.

A radius arm 3 link will behave different than a control arm 3 link, I would think.
