Scott, this should be a good way to figure out how it works. When you get it all installed, leave the coil overs out. You don't have to let it swing freely, but with a floor jack and a jack stand you can watch the articulation. It's pretty sweet, really.

Allen, I'll definitely do that.

I got an e-mail from a member noting the axles in the housing. I guess I should have pointed out that I did the QL installation on a bare housing and that the axles and rotors were installed after I was done... just for taking a few pics... it gave it a more complete look.

William, here's a pic of the way I mounted the housing. I welded the standoffs with the angle iron to my table, then set the housing on the angle iron, set the -2 degree pinion angle and tacked it. It was solid and worked great. I know it's not the fanciest jig out there but it was a good solution for doing it yourself in your 2 car garage.

Nice. I agree the Quadra-link is AWESOME!

I wish it was easier to install on a low car. We had to make quite a few adjustments to get it to work. But that's just me whining...

Have you physically done this, Allen?

Great Detail! And you just answered my question, Thanks.
By the way were the axle tubes and ends already tacked on, How did you get the brackets over the tubes? I have a 12 bolt and was thinking I may have to cut the brackets in 1/2 or the ends off and then re-weld the ends to the tubes. Any tips ???
Thanks Again
James
