3 link rear susp, roadcourse.

[coryboy]

Hi , I'm looking at using a 3-link rear suspension on a road coarse car, RWD live axle. The length of the lower arms is 22in & is fixed (rules), any suggestions on the upper link angle & location would be appreciated. This link could be up to 50in if need be. Cheers.

I discuss all kinds of asymmetric RWD beam axle suspensions at my blog:

Sorry guys but I don't see anything relating to a long single, central upper arm in any of the areas you spoke of ?.
