4 link and watts link

Anyone put a 4link on a 73-87 burb? If so can you post pics...I'm leaning towards doing this to my burb. It sounds like it's alot better than the air over leaf system. And also what does a watts link do?

Re: 4 link and watts link

a watts link is used to keep a axle centered when you have a 4 link.. It does the same thing as a panhard bar does except you don't get the side to side movement like you would with a panhard..

Re: 4 link and watts link

a watts link will effectivly stop ALL sideways deflection of the axle no matter what type of suspension you use. important in high g machines or to supliment 4 link suspensions when triangulation is not possible
