which 4 link to use
I'm building a 33 plymouth and want to use either the 4 link triangular or do I use the parallel. Will either one have alot of wheel hop or none at all? Who sells a good set up with instructions for a 9 inch ford........thanks

I prefer the triangulated 4 link as it doesn't require a Watt's linkage or Panhard bar to control side to side movement. Never experience wheel hop problems with either....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

I have a Chris Alstons chassisworks 4 bar with a panhard bar,am very happy with it.I think he also has triangulated if I remember right.

I would always use a triangulated when possible. Like Dave said no chance of side to side movement.

Go triangulated, for sure. Fewer parts, nice setup.
Just about any of the suppliers will sell you a triangulated 4-bar - and most of them are darn near identical. Alston, TCI, Pet and Jakes, Progressive Automotive, SAC.
However, you might have a little difficulty finding one ready-made for a '33 Plymouth. there's no problem finding ready-made axle brackets for a 9" Ford, but the frame mounts might require some cutting/fabrication. I'm guessing that something made for a 33-34 Ford could be readily adapted.
Don't worry about wheel hop.Last edited by Henry Rifle; 03-19-2007 at 03:32 PM.

Well I've sure gotten old too so don't worry about it! I've had two bypass surgeries, new knees, fought prostate, cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,...
