Chassisworks canted 4-link?
I purchased a 67 chevelle that was in the process of being built into a pro street car. I found a stock frame and was thinking about installing a chassisworks canted 4-link setup in it. My questions are....
Is it a job that someone can do in his garage with little knowledge of chassis work. I've got a friend that's gonna help that has built a few 4-link Toyota's and has works at a fabrication shop for a few years. How well will this perform in a a-body? I've searched and can't find this setup in any chevelle's( lots of camaro's though). The last and most important question is; Is it gonna be worth all the extra time and cost to build this? My last car was a 67 Malibu with the ridetech stage 2 and built ls2/t56 combo. I loved the way the car handled but always wanted a bigger tire. since someone already hacked away all the tin, I figured now would be a good time to tackle this. Thanks in advance for all the help. |
I also forgot to mention that a friend has cut his who stock floor boards out of his 66 chevelle to install a art morrison frame. So another option would be to weld in stock floor and run the scandc suspension with AFX spindles.
Thanks. |
Help! Has anyone installed one of these setups? Any pictures of the process. All the searches i do only come up with the g-link. Thanks

Send Carl Ogren a PM. Whenever I needed photos of build/install items the Customer Service folks at CAC seem to have access to photos not in the public domain, or not easily found by a Google/Yahoo search.

You won't find much info on people putting a triangulated 4-link in an A-body, as that is what they had from the factory.
If all geometry remained the same the only advantage you will get is that you can run a wider rear wheel. |
Hey there black67malibu,
There are a bunch of cars running around with this suspension. Are you talking about updating the stock frame 4-link or converting to one of our 2x4 rear frames with canted 4-bar? https://www.cachassisworks.com/image...um/7154_3_.jpg Here are a few with the stock style rear frame that I grabbed just off the top of my head. I think all three are posted here on this forum. Russell Wells' GTO. Currently has stock style springs and VariShock bolt-in bodies in the back and plans to go coilover soon. Soon to be a magazine car. https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...46163907_n.jpg Butch's El Camino is in paint right now, being built by Screamin' Performance. MORE PICS HERE. https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...42798040_n.jpg Mike Gilbert's 70 Chevelle is on our VariShock air spring coilovers. You'll also see it soon in one of the magazines. MORE PICS HERE. https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...63391407_n.jpg |
