Whether you’re driving a Jeep Wrangler YJ, a Chevy S10 or C10 pickup, or Ford Bronco, Summit Racing carries several 4-link kits for trucks and SUVs. Four-link systems attach to the rear axle, and the center of your truck or SUV to let the axle articulate over rough terrain while significantly reducing the impact on the body of the vehicle.
What is a fully-adjustable 4-link suspension?
Note: A fully-adjustable 4 link suspension allows you to move the ‘Instant Center’ not only up or down, but also forward or back by increasing or decreasing the angle between the bars. If your car wheel stands too much, you can angle the 4 link bars closer together at the front to move the ‘Instant Center’ closer to the rear of the car.
Which type of 4-link is better?
Although there are several theories as to which type of 4-link is “better”, it comes down to available space and preference. Triangulated 4-links and parallel 4-links accomplish the same thing. They locate the rear axle in the vehicle in its proper place. The bottom 2 links keep the axle in place front to back.
What is the difference between parallel 4 link and Universal 4 link?
A parallel 4-link fits most trucks better because the fuel tank is usually right in front of the axle, inboard of the frame. Universal parallel 4-links are therefore sometimes easier to install because the main link bars utilize a one-piece frame mount instead of two… less time in placing and welding the upper bar mounts.
