Long arm tech...Y link VS 3 link?...

[Boostwerks.com]

I've been wondering about this for a while now, and finally decided to make a thread about it. I have noticed that there are a couple different types of front long arm systems out there, most notably the Y link which has the upper links attached to the lower arms, and then the 3 link style like RK's.

What is the most preferable system in terms of design, geometry, handling, comfort...ect?

I can see the 3 link design having a caster variance that is very close to stock, where as the Y link would just be a fixed castor depending on how far the axle droop is. Discuss...

first of all, this is NOT advanced fab/engineering. Second, there are tons of threads discussing these very issues in modified tech. This thread may get you started:

Interesting...I thought this forum included topics related to "engineering." huh. I guess suspension design, and theory of both designs isn't engineering related. :rolleyes:

That thread didn't answer any of my questions.

are you fabbing them, or engineering a new setup? if no, then this IS the wrong forum, take some time and search around, this has been covered about 8,000,000,000,001 times.
good luck...Interesting...I thought this forum included topics related to "engineering." huh. I guess suspension design, and theory of both designs isn't engineering related. :rolleyes:
