I have a 1994 Phantom, it uses a horizontal and parallel 4 link rear suspension with a Watts link. The top links on the birdcages sit about 2" above the axle while the lower links are situated about 5" below the axle. Most 4 links I've seen the links are an equal distance above and below the axle height. Is there an advantage to having the lower link a greater distance away for the axle center? Does it matter? IS it best to have the links as far apart as possible?
The Watts link bell crank is mounted horizontally (the spherical rod ends connect to the bell crank on the same horizontal plane). I've only ever seen them mounted vertically. I'm assuming this was done to get the lowest roll center possible.
I'd be most interested to hear any thoughts or insights you have on the suspension anomalies.
