huskerdually It depends on what you consider a cantilever. What Taylor posted could be considered a bell-crank....

Pascal Very recently I posted about that here. Do a search for it or look at my recent posts.

so really its just space issues you are refering to with wishbones? driveshaft clearance etc?

^^^exactly^^^

Pascal Yeah, logistically it's tought to fit a properly set up wishbone into a mini. Avoiding one will keep you from purposly changing the suspension geometry just to fit it.

max...why did you not just make a triangulated for link on the ranger frame?

so i pretty much gather that the rocker arms can be custom made with round tubing for bracing but where would i get the bushings and the pieces with the heim jionts on them.So far the only thing i found close to those are the small 4-link bars from Tractor Supply.can they come from some place like home depot or are they just 4-link parts?

if the panhard bar was longer (which looks like it could of been) would the rear end not pull to one side as much?

robert- Since this is your thread, I'll answer your question first. For the "fixed" pivot (typically the center pivot) I would suggest running Delrin. Delrin is a material that is a lot loike nylon, but tougher. You can call HM-Engineering.com and order the bushings, the inner and outer sleevs, heims, spacers bungs from them.

J-Doggy- There really isn't enough room for properly triangulated bars.

stkflrd 73- A properly set up pannard bar has very little side to side movement, even with an extra short bar such as this one. It only moved about 3/8" in either direction.
