Royce suggested i research this.

Looks good. So the control arms are still mounted at the normal sport behind the diff? and this is just connected to the front bolt holes on the control arms?

These are the only pics i've found so far. I'll keep looking. Looks easy enough to copy.

yeah connects to the control arms and the centre front of the diff, as it flexes and the control arms sit at different angles it pivots accross the front to stop bind, also then still allows the arms to work properly to control diff wrap

i wonder how it would go smashing in to rocks, looks pretty solid, but rocks are pretty solid too. probably mash that nut up at the front a bit.

ive seen some others that shroud it a bit better, but yeah would cop a flogging

So it's all to do with flex. Any other reason?

[royce]

if you look how the 3 link in the front of most coil spring 4x4's is setup, along with coil sierras both ends when you articulate them one arm is pointing down and the other pointing up, but as they both attached to the diff housing they fight each other and twist the housing, which is why coil sierras snap arms and tear mounts of the diff and so on

this setup allows the movement in the arms (as one arm pushes the mount down the other is going up anyway) while still having the diff located twist wise accross 2 planes

there is probably benefits in a 3 link over 4 links and so on due to ease of setting up without trying to get everything to work in what room you have

Thanks for that Royce.

I think someone on outers with a vitara just put this on with 60 diffs.....
