Thread: which 4 link to use

Tweet

I'm building a 33 plymouth and want to use either the 4 link triangular or do I use the parallel. Will either one have alot of wheel hop or none at all? Who sells a good set up with instructions for a 9 inch ford........thanks

I prefer the triangulated 4 link as it doesn't require a Watt's linkage or Panhard bar to control side to side movement. Never experience wheel hop problems with either....

I have a Chris Alstons chassisworks 4 bar with a panhard bar,am very happy with it.I think he also has triangulated if I remember right.

I would always use a triangulated when possible. Like Dave said no chance of side to side movement.

Go triangulated, for sure. Fewer parts, nice setup.

Just about any of the suppliers will sell you a triangulated 4-bar - and most of them are darn near identical. Alston, TCI, Pet and Jakes, Progressive Automotive, SAC.

However, you might have a little difficulty finding one ready-made for a '33 Plymouth. there's no problem finding ready-made axle brackets for a 9" Ford, but the frame mounts might require some cutting/fabrication. I'm guessing that something made for a 33-34 Ford could be readily adapted.

Don't worry about wheel hop.
