SteveG Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 So what's the best way to have the flexibility of a 3-Link off-road, but stiffen it up on-road to reduce roll in corners?? Is it to fit an anti-roll bar with dislocating mounts? Or is there an alternative? A 3-Link is something I'd like to do in 07, and slighty stiffen a 3-Link set-up for on-road. I've plenty of experience driving a 3-Link on-road and in my view with the right springs it doesn't need much work to make it ok.

SOA 93 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Steve, the previous thread on 3 links and alternatives had a new system called X-link, you can lock this up for road or release for 3-link equivalent travel, only been done in Oz as far as I know.

bill van snorkle Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Raising the roll centre of the front end by relocating the panhard rod mountings higher up on both the chassis and axle should give less body roll without affecting articulation.

Turbocharger Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Won't raising the roll centre give more weight transfer on the axle (ie you'll have less grip, but you'll feel less alarmed...) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That probably would be the case if you went a long way up, but I dont see a problem going up a couple of inches so that the front roll centre is closer to the rear roll centre. The rear RC on a standard vehicle is some 5'' higher than the front. Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
