Some general leafspring setup questions

[Robprime]

If those links run parallel to the leaf, then there won't be any bind. I think it's called a Link/Leaf system. The rubber bushings in the links can handle some convergence towards the front. If you made them pivot off the front leaf bolt as you suggest, you would be making a huge anti-roll bar out of your rear axle housing, because you would have a triangulated link/leaf arrangement on each side.




That's an interesting idea, Dave. Would that be good to do?

I really hadn't been thinking about the horizontal plane when I was considering what to do with those front links. I had only thought to try to control any axle wrap and binding in the vertical plane.
