1.Why does a 4-link lm run a lift arm (torque arm) and a 4-link mod uses a pull bar? (mostly)
2.Why are the majority of 4-link lm running 4 bar 4 bar, majority of mods running 4 bar z-link?
3. Why does swing arm lm run pull bar, 4-link lm run torque arm?
4. Why run a limiter chain or 6th spring on mod if pull bar has rubber stopper for the compression?
5. Aren't most mods using a 90-10 shock on rear, but the stuff you read on 4-link lm says not to unless you have wheel hop on braking. But, doesn't the swing arm lm run a 90-10?
6. 4-link vs. 2-link: Is rearsteer the only advantage to a four link? Can you make a 2-link act like a 4 bar?
7. What is the advantage to running a swing arm? Why would having the springs on the bars be desireable? I know it's fast, why???
8. Last one... How on earth does Rayburn make a panhard bar thats mounted backwards work so good? I don't see the benifit to that at all. Where does the sidebite come from? Where's the mechanics of the chassis roll?
Not a pop quiz! I wouldn't be smart enough to grade the answers! Seriously though, I just want to know what you think. It seems to me that modified suspension set-ups are very trendy, for the most part. Meaning that most front runners are 4 bar z-link with a pull bar and alot of times a 6th coil. Then you have your less common 2-link or leafspring. But in the latemodels, a 4-link may dominate or a Rayburn style swing arm with a backwards panhard bar may dominate, right. Never a 2-link or a leaf. None of this is an arguing point, or a slam on a certain type of suspension. Just observation.
Thanks for reading. Hope you take the time to post what you think.
