johnny.race Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Anyone know where a AE92 rear caliper sits OEM? Like is it towards the front, rear or sitting on top or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 They sit on the front of the rotor Any reason for running a triangulated 4 link with panhard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mof Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I thought the same thing but didn't want to say anything because I might be wrong. If you think the 4 link still might move sideways maybe a watts link would be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny.race Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Yeah, I reckon it was going to move bro. The bushes are recycled from off a Surf's bum setup. They cost nothing. But they are are big, they are rubber and when push comes to shove, I reckon there will be wriggle room for sideways movement. The other thing I thought about too was that I couldn't get the recommended 40 - 45 Degree angle on those top arms so thought fuck it. Run a rod and make sure that if there was some - I could control it. I still have not unpicked the diff from the chassis bench so don't know if there is going to be any binding but I reckon there won't be any. Have to see.

cletus Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 If you are running shocks with not much travel it should be fine. I seem to remember some 4x4 things that have a factory link type suspension have a bit of angle on the upper arms and run a panhard as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny.race Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Yeah you remember right, Surfs have angled top bars and straight bottom ones. They employ a panhard rod. I just copied what I saw Toyota had done when I was removing the bush ends. And on my car, I measured that at 50mm suspension movement up or down from planned ride height, the bar will limit lateral movement to no more than 1.8mm. I drew it up on CAD and had a look. The center to center length of the bar is 700mm and its level. But all this aside ... you can see just by looking at a triangulated 4 link setup employing any end joint that uses something made from compressible material - there is going to be sideways movement at some point. I reckon anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
