4 Links Vs. Ala

4 Links Vs. Ala

[QUOTE=Pure Perf.;1386357]I am not really sure how you came to those conclusions.   Spending a little time on Pirate 4x4 might be a good thing for you doing some research... [/QUOTE]
So is that where you all get all your R&D information?
[QUOTE=Pure Perf.;1386357]The only thing on a super duty from the factory based on a radius arm setup is the size of the sway bar!   The natural binding of the radius arms adds a tremendous amount of resistance just like adding a larger sway bar!   Compare a Ram HD sway bar to that of a Super Duty?   The Ram HD is a multi link system versus the Super Duty radius arm system! [/QUOTE]
WHAT?
[QUOTE=Pure Perf.;1386357]A radius arm setup naturally binds up causing bushings to wear way faster than a 4 link setup.   A 4 link setup will allow easier movement of the suspension without bind, thus not having as much bushing wear.   [/QUOTE]
So a 3 link doesn’t do that?
[QUOTE=Pure Perf.;1386357]The bump steer relationship has little to nothing to do with the fact that the suspension uses a 4 link or a radius arm.   [B]Bump steer is determined by the track bar and drag link relationship almost exclusively![/B] [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Pure Perf.;1386357]If you are switching to a 4 link versus a radius arm, it is better that you buy a system and not just an upgrade.   Many manufacturer's compensate for the great body roll with their spring and dampening rates of the shocks.   [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Pure Perf.;1386357]A well designed 4 link system will not bind the drive shaft much sooner than a radius arm system if the instant centers are proper.   However, a 4 link system is a much more robust design than a radius arm system providing you with much more positive axle control.   4 link systems are tunable where as a radius arm system is not!   You cannot alter the instant centers of a radius arm system to achieve different effects like you can a 4 link.
