'''Preamble'''

The four-link rear suspension is designed to locate the rear axle with four links, two on each side, placed on top and beneath the axle itself. These links also control the loads placed on the axle during acceleration and braking. In this design a Panhard bar or Watt's link is required to laterally locate the rear end. 

[[Image:4_link_suspension_parts.jpg‎ ]]This image shows a 4-link suspension upgrade kit laid out as it would be installed on an axle housing. Note the 2 sets of parallel links, the shock mounts, and the Panhard bar in the rear.
Here we can see the placement of the 2 links on the near side of the axle housing.

With an infinite possible placement of links,there is lots of room to design a suspension with the desired road characteristics that you want for your driving style.


'''remove this when needed'''  ...  You are posting a primarily drag race suspension in the photo and discussion.  I am sure you will provide the triangulated 4 link information soon.  I look forward to it.
