Where I came from, a 4 link set up had brackets where the rod ends couple be alternatively placed to change things like the roll centers, and so forth. The bars were not parallel at all and indeed the 4 link on my LSR car has the bars at an angle to each other, but in a line going forward. A 4 bar set up is a parallel system where there is only one way to connect the bars and they form a parallel system of linkages. And either case may have the upper links in a triangular manner. I have seen them such that the upper link is a single link connecting to either the chassis forward of the diff or vice versa the single link connecting to the diff with the two other legs attached to the forward chassis points. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Nothing of what anyone has said is wrong, just I am old and dumb and need some guidance on what exactly is being mentioned and to hopefully have us all on the same page. The MG set up is to me a 4 bar system with only one set of bracket holes to attach the links. Looks good but no way to change the characteristics of the suspension system other than changing the pinion angle by lengthening the upper or lower bars lengths. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>If anyone is in doubt then take a look at say art Morrison catalog and see the different kinds of set ups. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>And the suspensions with the angled pair of links to the center or outbound ie not parallel with the other pair of links is a good way to get articulation and also to eliminate the need for a Panhard (and it ain’t Pan Hard) bar, watts linkage, or diagonal bar to locate the rear end laterally. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>It is ok to shout at me…<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Mayf<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>_________________________<br>drmayf<br>Worlds Fastest Sunbeam, period.<br>204.913 mph flying mile average speed<br>210.779 mph exit (not top) speed<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a name="_MailEndCompose"><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></a></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> Tigers [mailto:tigers-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>daniel doornbos via Tigers<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, October 12, 2017 2:36 PM<br><b>To:</b> tigers@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> [Tigers] Anyone built a 4 link rear suspension for their tiger?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div id=divtagdefaultwrapper><p><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>Based on Theo's reply I got completely distracted this afternoon.
