Quadra Link Question - Lateral-g Forums

Leadfoot1 · #1 12-02-2006, 08:01 PM

Guy's,

I need to know how the lower bar (the one that ties into the front leaf spring pocket) is mounted there. I need to know if the bar is centered on the bushing or if it offsetted? I look at pictures (and none shows it clearly) and it looks to be bushed from the outside, giving more room for the tires on the inside.

Thats what i need, i considered the air bar seriously but the bushing is centered and i don't get much more space than the leaf because of that. I could unweld and move the bar but ART says not a good idea....They should have tought about that while building their system...

Anyway, i need to take a decision. I'm now back to my first idea suspension wise, the Art Morrisson Tri-4 bar (half price at that!) if the Q-link doesn't provide the space needed.

Thanks for any help/ pics would be great.

The Quadra Link has the bushing on the outside. There should be plenty of room for your tires. I'm running 345/30-19s with no problem.

Thanks Jeff!

So the bar "IS" mounted offsetted then. I'm running 345 25 20's (14.1") they should be the same. What is the Bar Bushing/ spacer bushing ratio (is the bar bushing taking like half the space and the spacer the other half?)

Any pic?

So many thanks!

The billet aluminum bushing is about an inch wide (IIRC).

Hey Scott,

Thanks, so i would get an inch of space (Good!) + the remaining space to the bar (assuming the bar is not the same width as the bushing) otherwise to the width of the bushing.

That sounds good.

If anyone has a pic it would still be cool, but it sounds interesting enough. I should get the car back this week... I'll be able to make final measurements then.

You'll have a ton of space since the lower quadra link bars are much narrower than a leaf spring.

Here's the only pic I have that shows the spacer in the leaf spring pocket:

'Guess Q-Link is now my next buy.... I could run it with shockwaves still....

Thanks Scott!
