Looks like its the hydraulic ram design someone mentioned, it also seems to do the limiting strap's and bump stop's job also

Ok, so I'm almost at the stage to start my 1 link and I've been looking at joints for it, Is this worth while? http://www.zuksoffroad.com/ZOR1link-basic-kit-one_p_175.html My old man goes to the US a few times a year due to family living there so I can get one here reasonably easy. I believe this joint is greasable too, my only worry about a joint is wear where as a bush wouldn't, but a bush would perish or even tear eventually depending on how much you push it. I would ideally want a fit and forget (other than maintenance) solution and I'de have to put a boot on it, maybe from a large'ish CV. The other Idea I had was to make a larger pin/bush like a D1/fender radius arm (chassis end). I've looked at other bushes/joints and to me they don't look strong enough or the right type of configuration. cheers

See I was thinking about the prop.. but the they are extendable for a reason!

Got a bit of a question... is the a desired or maximum length for a 1 link, other than packaging reason's?

Thats basically what I was saying

Nvm.. your on ms

And amplifier

Looks like you say.. adjustable caster, would be useful if you run different ride heights.

not with ms but I have a very similar issue, when my voltage is low I get a misfire around 3-4k rpm. I've since replaced the alternator which seemed to fix it!.. until the regulator died so back to square one!

more or less a 1 link, not set on this one IMO

You may well be right!! I realised just moments ago the 2 aframe with 1link would in effect be a triangulated 4link but with the fixed axle due to the 1 link lower, all the packing issues associated with the 4 link would still be the same. The forces shouldn't be any more than with a single a frame setup so a normal wide angle aframe ball joint would do it. For a normal landy it probably wouldn't fit the front.. just like a triangulated 4 link.

is there much mapping done in the uk, quickly looked on a couple sites n it all seemed to be US plots

I was thinking about the 1 link with the a frame. Rather than a sliding joint, a 2nd a frame with the bottom of the a on the axle or 1 link.. joined to the other 1 link with a ball on the chassis one and the socket on the axle one The axle a frame would pivot forwards and backwards, similar to the sliding part. Would all depend on clearance, but as long as the separation between the chassis a frame and the 1 link wasn't to much it would be minimal.

So what exactly is wrong with a 1 link + watts, as said before can it not just be beefed up? This, albeit a well thought out and nice solution, seems over complicated.

Front link will just invite axle rotation (pinion angle) and you will need allot of chassis over the front axle (overhang).

What about 1 link? seems to be a good solution from what I read, not sure what the disavantages are to be honest.

Jesus! bet their blooming heavy mind you

My question is, will the axel torque reaction have as much as an effect as the body torque reaction at the chassis once you account for the leverage in the 1 link arms. If not will it make a worth while difference in reducing the roll.

Looks good, bet it would be a PITA to install mind you! Plug n play as Soren said would be good.

The panard only really changes the roll centre if I remember right.

I agree what you're saying, the issue with test and review (unless there is a large number of diffeent ones) is how do you know if the tester knows what they're talking about. Knowing the facts helps to make an educated decision and for me, it means I'm more likely to go out and buy a major bit of kit like this or QT's 3link.

Hi Gordon, I wonder if you would consider posting some data on the kit. I think it may usefull to me and others to know what we expect to get from the it in regards to things like anti-drive %, and instant centre, ect. Cheers Mark

I've since done this on my v8 with plenty of pics and info. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f42/rover-v8-right-hand-second-alternator-bracket-225877-6.html#post2718059

I have to agree, Billing has gone down hill.. I went this year and a while ago. Even in 2011 it was much better

The worst thing is ordering oem and getting britpart
