Re: 59 Chevy Build

it will bind anyway because it is triangulated, but porter is right, those attachment points need to be parallel.

i am not in any way knocking your build, it looks killer, but i HATE triangulated 4 links, unless hiem joints are used there will be a bind when turning. the way ford dealt with that is to use very compliant rubber bushings, that allow the links to move around some, but then the suspension angles change, which is not a good thing. that is why i am designing an offset 3-link with a phb for my truck.

i really like the way that visor looks too...
