4-Links Under Braking

I agree about running a 4 link forward, but the example opens itself up to argument.

The forward links appear level, while the rear facing links appear to be angled downward.

This could easily lead to arguments of inmpropper installation of the impropper design being the cause of the problem....lol

alright someone call those carzy bastards at mythbusters

amen them fuckers would do it too

That remote control cop car was kick ass. They tried to American Graphiti it . haha

only poor researched arguments. If you "stop" the video at the start of the test for the reverse, you can see the 4 link bars are indeed level at the start of the test. They end up unleveled at the end of the test because the torque of the brakes is upward, which lifts the rear end.

you can "stop" the video by click and hold on your close window button (the red box at the top right) DONT RELEASE IT, hold the click. then move your mouse off the button, otherwise when you DO release the click it wont close the window lol.

Plus I'm sure Doug set the 4-links up correctly.. The man's a genious who pretty much IS the minitruckin-mythbuster haha.

so umm i guess thats why reverse 4links are poopie huh? haha

i havent seen anyone post in this topic defending the reverse yet. weird because there is always someone.

i thought everyone knew that reverse 4-links are unsafe. guess not. but it would be nice to have myth busters prove the point. and as far as semis using reverse 4-links, i work on semi trucks and trailers 4 days a week and have yet to see one with a reverse 4-link. and i'm pretty sure that nascars are 2-links with panhard. but maybe, HOPEFULLY, it was a joke and i didn't read it right. oh well.
