I'm working on the design for the watts link in my car and have a very basic watts link geometry question. I will mount the center link to the chassis and the outer links to the axle (represented by the centerline). The outer links are parallel in both cases.
Of the two options below, which is preferred and why? Is there a better option?
Attachment 55342
From a packaging standpoint, option 2 is preferred but if Option 1 is better from a design standpoint, I will go that route.
Thanks!
