Exclamation Well, wouldn't you Know it!!

Looks like my Martz Chassis 4 link is gettin' reamed for inadequate performance on the PT site. Beautiful man, just beautiful.

Well, I still have my full DSE set up. I have run a 4 link before and got much better handleing out of it than leaves, I think that the complaint is a non adjusting Panhard bar (fixable). Any thoughts?

It may be getting reamed, but it's by suspension designers that know what they are doing. If you want, I can give you some background on some of the guys. I kinda have the same sentiments as they do, but I'm still learning.

If Rick Kirkendall is reading this, what do you think with yours? Any input? Please?

I second that motion.

The thing about adjustable stuff is that it has to be adjusted. How hard is it to dial-in the 4-link?

The only reason for having an adjustable Panhard bar is if you mounted it wrong from the begining. You will never need to adjust it if it is mounted properly but that requires a jig as they say on Martz site.

If you don't have a jig then you need an adjustable Panhard Bar. There is no need to adjust it after it has been adjusted the first time.

So whoever reams about this is just talking crap.


Don't be sad Jim we are behind you on this.
