3 Link Question...

[biggin69]

I am having to 3 link the front of my Sammy-ish rig due to clearance issues. My question is, should the upper (frame) mount for the panhard be to the inside or outside of the frame?

Thanks!

Put it outside, that way the panhard bar can be as long as possible and won't pull the axles to 1 side as bad when it drops out. Also if you have normal steering(not full hydro) keep the panhard bar parallel with the drag link.

What's not clearing that won't allow a 4 link?

That little thing on the bottom of the engine called the "oil pan"...

If you have hydro steering I would run a 4 link set up. I dont understand why you cant clear the oil pan.

REverse the triangulation of the bars that aren't clearing the pan... there shouldn't be any reason it wont clear...

fark 3 links and panhards... they are the suck. might as well run a radius arm setup.
