Are you still gonna keep the four link for street driving?


You are gonna paint everything after it's all mocked up and ready to go right?

Hey, no crying about TRE deficiencies on your end.

This is a 3-link I'm doing. 4link if there are ill effects.

Finished knuckles and steering!

well after getting on my laptop so i can look at all this pics properly. All i got to say is.... this is quite the setup!

Hard to tell from pics but would there ever be a chance that you could hit your front drive shaft when extremely flexing?

wowzers dlyter! Out of the wood work for a few eh? Glad I could make ya smile bud.

HB, not really. The geometry won't ever bring them together to contact if you are talking b/t driveshaft and control arm. Now...a rock on the other hand...



Latest progress slowed down due to heat and thinking cells needed. Decided to completely remake the track bar axle mount. Took a bit of work as had to take account cycling the steering both directions.

Dang Nab great lookin job you did there. I know all about that clearance issue and I have pesky air bags that are soft and don't like metal contacting them.
Bet you can't wait to get it done and drive it too.
