Front Suspension Help

[dodgeboy94]

I am Making a radius arm type front suspension for charger, I want to know if it would be a bad idea to make my lower axle links come off of the main arm to keep the axle from rolling? Any Sugestions or advice will help. Thanks, Tim.

Not sure I'm following what you're trying to do, radius arms and links are two pretty different things.

Got any pics of what you're working on? Sounds like an interesting project.

Yes you can, but.
They need to be long so the castor change is not too big when flexing.

IT will look like that jeep setup, only upside down. I want to put the main arms on top for clearance, the main arms will be about 4 feet long.

Ok, I see what you're asking. I don't see an issue doing it that way, although you will want to make sure whatever joints you're using are designed for continuous loading in tension rather than compression, as the forces acting on them will be reversed.

Also, if this will be offroad much, keep in mind having the links exposed to the bottom will put them in greater danger of damage from rocks, etc.
