    Add a front suspension tuning video for us as well as how to deal with a chassis thats twisting out of shape, and we will watch them. We have all seen unlevel wheelies as one side of the chassis squats while the other side lifts. We appreciate any info that helps keep our rides performing consistently. This is an excellent visual of the homework that I'm catching up on. This beats learning the hard way by eating a wall👌 You earned a subscriber with this

    I've been trying to wrap my head around instant center for too long. This is by far the best explanation I've found. The part about the pinion climbing the ring made something click for me. When you demoed with the 12mm wrench it was cemented. Now I finally feel like I understand the basics of 4 link suspension.
    Thank you.

    Absolutely love the video; thank you for taking the time to make it! 4 link geometry is something that I've tried really hard over the years to wrap my head around and this video does an amazing job explaining the key points with real world and scale examples.
    One thing that I don't see talked about very often is the front suspension on front solid axle rigs like Monster Max. I run RC rock crawlers and race RC Monster Trucks that use full 4 link front ends and I've had a hard time learning how the instant center from the front links interacts with the instant center of the rear links.

    It appears that the big tire car's squat, but they're actually neutral. It's the sidewalk collapsing giving it optical delusion . Radial tire have to separate they have to drive over the instant center, keep the nose down. I actually watched the video today. I can't believe you used Dillon Voss LOL to show tire shake that is awesome.clutch car can be tuff.. Trying to figure how to get my IRS RC car to separate hinge pin angle seems to help a little bit.

    You missed the gasser suspension setup..
    Also, I happen own a 76' Plymouth Fury, she has at least 3 different sizes in 2 standards of measurements mounting everything. I have to have a 6.5mm, 3/8", 11mm, 12mm, 1/2", 9/16" and 5/8" wrench just to change my mind. Hell my belt tensioner requires a 1/2", 5/8, and 12mm to unlock and adjusted with a 8mm...
    I miss my 94' Impala with a 10mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm and 17mm to strip her down to a rolling frame. She was so easy to work on, she removed her own drive shaft and rear axel once. Taught me about drive shaft loops also.

Using bearing bird cages and a pull bar or torque arm with negative instant center. Let me know if you can do that. It’d be cool to see the difference on how the tire is planted.

    Not quite buddy. The radio of the tire has a little to do with on that white Camaro. That suspension is not a traditional fore link. It's what you call a mono latter bar which has a large ladder bar in the middle and total of one panered bar and 2 smaller bars. By that suspension design, it causes the rear end to lift....

      the same is for slapper bars to use the torque from rear axle to react aginst the body of the car to push down the tyres.

In any case, he also fabricated "lift kits" for street rods and also employed a lift kit for the '65 GTO funny car Brutus. I became a crewman and always marveled how Brutus would leave the line by lifting its rear and planting the tires into the asphalt Jim was a pretty smart guy at a very young age....kinda crazy too, but very intelligent.

    Done did science good... Thanks for the visual representation. Been trying to wrap my brain around this for awhile. P.S. Thanks for pronouncing height correctly.

    Back in the day (1980’s) we used to run a lift bar in a dirt track car where the axles were full spool.So the rotating force went forward along beside the drive shaft to a single compressible coil over shock absorber. It had the same effect as anti squat. In the interest of weight we also only ran three bars two lower one upper as the axle was not housed in a casing. Think sprint car quick change rear axle. This system would also create the effect of trying to push the axle into the dirt but basically lift the whole rear of the car.

    What a great explanation. I'm building the parallel 4 link on my 49 Chevy right now and I was curious of exactly how the car acted by moving the top bar up or down. So cool, thank you.

    When you're explaining the squat aspect, what makes the car stop squating? Is it when the line from the 2 links is at the cog, or do they hit like a bumpstop thing?

      They find a point where the pushing force of one bar equalizes with the other. Usually that happens when one of the two reaches a 90 degreee angle with the vertical center line of rear axle.
