Hey Guys,
Whats wrong with this picture. The Chev Power rear suspension set up calls for a D height of 1.25 in. My rough measurements put the two outer link pivot points about 6.75 in. apart vertically and the two inner link pivots about 5 in apart vertically. That would mean that a D height of 1.25 would put the upper u-joint center about 0.5 in below the outer. Those we good 3D model may have more accurate numbers but my car measure like indicated with a simple scale.
The second bit of conventional wisdom is the Greenwood bit that the diff should be about 0.5 in ABOVE than the outer pivot for toe control.
Seems like the two cannot co-exist. Am I late to the party and missed the joke?
