Parallel 4-link with track bar....

WHat's up Max. What's your opinion on this setup. I know a track bar works good on a 2-link, but what about on a 4-link. Seems like the track bar would bind the 4-link up when it articulates, just wondering your thoughts on it. THank ya sir!!!

a track bar is something that runs from link to link.. sometimes guys use em just straight across.. sometimes guys use em diagonal.

I'm familiar with 4-link suspensions...as far as watts link, panhard bars, wishbones, triangulated, etc. I've built almost all of them. I was referering specifically to a diagnol trac bar on a parralel 4-link. The trac bar going from the front of one lower bar, diagonally to the rear of the opposite bar. I know they work on 2-links because 2-links limit the articulation of the suspension to just about nothing. But on a four-link the rearend would articulate more. Thanks guys.

Check out Christ Alston Chassis Works. They build their parallel 4-links this way.
