Chevelle rear suspension

[jake72ss]

Would I sacrifice anything by going to a torque arm, it looks like the easiest to package. What would happen to anti- squat, etc? Is there a calculation to use to determine the best overall length, forward mounting location, etc?

The instant center is at the front mount of the arm. If you know how to calculate the neutral (anti-squat) line for your car, it's pretty easy to plot where the IC will end up. With a torque arm, the IC is fixed, unlike a 3 or 4 link suspension.

As I mentioned earlier, the best mounting location is where it's most convenient, at the trans crossmember.

we could do a combination of the rear coil over conversion, torque arm, and lower trailing arms and sway bar.
it would be almost identical to our F body torque arm set up.

Don't happen to make that for a 9" do ya? My 442 has a 9" and I would love to go the Torque Arm route.
