    Good morning, first congratulations for the videos, they are real classes. I watch all your videos and more than once. I'm Brazilian and now I'm going to start changing my JKU's suspension to do heavy trails. I have F250 axles and 40” tires. However, I really enjoy riding the Jeep on road and I have some doubts about the rear suspension. I don't know if I make it 4 triangularized links or with panhard. I was told that using panhard the car is more stable in onroad, is this true? thanks a lot

    Anti dive is calculated slightly different, including brake area. It’s a braking force, not acceleration force hence the difference. Under acceleration you have anti lift in the front not anti squat. The tyres are rotating the same way, the axle housing opposing the same way, but the links are on the other side of the front housing.

      One more real quick question before I start burning my for link brackets in and fabricating them
      I will have 10 in separation in the front axle and about 12 in vertical separation for the rear axle in order to play with my anti squat anti dive like you said I'm going to put multiple holes for adjusting my 4 Link bars at the chassis
      My question is can I go down to 4 in separation or is that too tight and if that's not too tight what about 3 in separation at the chassis?
      The main reason I ask is because I can't get more than 10 in separation over the front axle and in order to help me get my numbers right a little tighter at the chassis then the 5 and 1/2 in of Separation I have graft out on paper would help a lot so I'm thinking maybe three or four inch separation at the chassis for the front.

    I’ve watched this five or six times over the past year. I’m finally about to start setting up my four link rear and three link front in my tj, mostly rock crawling with some steep hill climbs (typical Jeep crawling trails type stuff) I’m pretty sure based on what I’ve read and what you said that for my application I should shoot for about 100-120% anti-dive or as close to it as I can get with all the shit in the way. And it looks like with how I have it set up right now my anti squat is going to be about 150-160. I might be able to get it a little lower, but again space is limited, and separation at the frame at this point would mean lowering my lower mounts, losing clearance. Am I on the right track here? I’m building this by myself with no prior knowledge and no one around me that knows anything about it, so the internet has been my only mentor. Thanks for taking time to do this stuff bub. 👍🏻

I know hardly an off-road build looking more of a streetable ultra4 police interceptor build.

    You can tune for anti squat with air bags or electronic shocks. I don't like wheel hope. I added coil over shocks for anti dive. I run parallel 3 link upper wishbone that are eye to eye same length as driveshaft. And rear pinion pointed straight at output at ride height. Dropped transfer case 2" with a sye. Need to change front end uppers and steering geometry. One trip wheeling destroys the track bar.

    Chassis inertia (u said momentum) the wheels are trying to force the chassis over and themselves and them selves under the truck with the help of the housing acting as a counter-rotating idler sprocket, (imagine the truck, on the sprocket on the wheel stacked on each other twist the wheel forward with sprocket motionless other than rotation (idling) torque and linear force because the axle housing or differential (IRS) has the equal amount of force counter-acting on it (twisting backward/axle wrap) where your springs and or links are located on the drivetrain and the frame directly determine what happens to the chassis due to limitations of the diff housing’s rearward twist/pinion up, remember an old Chrysler with a pinion snubber, everything mounted on the differential housing or solid axle that is forward of the center of the axle on the same plane will be force loaded upward and rearward equally in an arc relevant to its distance from the center of the axle, the same for what is mounted rearward (9:00-3:00 either side) 12:00 to 6:00 (left rear viewed from the right of the machine) changing the elevation changes the upward to rearward force ratio (fore) and the to downward to forward ratio (aft)
    Figuratively speaking, if the coils are mounted forward and significantly below axle center the engine torque will apply axle counter force forward and upward do attach the other end of the component where you want that force applied. Just ask yourself why and to what degree to suit your goals. I woukd illustrate but its lat-early! Man i gotta hit the rack

    First thank you, I know this is an old video, so is my project, started 4 years ago. Accidents happen. Question, watching your cardboard 4 link the lower pivots at the center of the axle, what change is seen if you move it to a real location say 3-4" in front of the axle and below the tube center line 1"?
    I am reading other articles stating make the upper arm longer than the lower to keep pinion angle directed at output as you said, yet stated in the same paragraph the rule of thumb is make the uppers length 75% of the lower.
    Is the link length based on the frame mounting point as longer or the actual link length since the upper link mounts farther back and on top the truss and the lower mounts in front of the axle.
    My upper links are 2.5" longer than my lowers but my lowers mount 3-4" further forward than my uppers. This is a daily driver/toy that started as a dual use toy. Again thanks for the time

    A scenario you explained at 9:01 spoke to me. I built a long arm 4 link + panhard front for an XJ recently which is having a hop issue when climbing uphill. When designing the long arm suspension, space was the ultimate constraint, but we tried to triangulate the lowers by 15* and triangulate the uppers maybe 5-7* around the oil pan, but it still needed a panhard bar. The uppers are nearly flat (parallel with the ground) and the lowers are sloped down a bit from the frame to the axle mount. When I plug in the final actual measurements, the anti-squat summary calculates to 102% (using 4BarLinkV3.1d). Is this 102% value the "reason" why the front axle hops when climbing up a hill? The scenario is you get to the crest of a hill but you need to keep spinning the tires, hunting for traction, to get over that final crest. Instead, the front tires just spin and hop, lifting the tires about 1/2" off the ground per hop, and it's nearly every rotation of the tire...so imagine some pretty violent and annoying hopping. If I reduce the front's anti-squat number to somewhere in the 80% range, will this help or hurt the issue?

    .....
    THIS IS 2 dimension "antisquat"... your articulation will change that value.

    ROLL CENTER !!!
    triangulation creates 2 imaginary points in space where they rotate from.
    Parallel links...can also be used, top or bottom in combination with angled.

    the rear im going to go for just enough antisquat to keep the ass from diving under full throttle acceleration on pavement
    tires are right at 40" and the arms will all be as long as possible while keep the triangulated angles no less than 40* as you stated in your last video

Once I feel comfortable enough to link the front end, I plan on lowering to around 6 inches of lift. I figure I'll set the truck at the new lower ride height I want and then use the CoG height (either centerline of cam or top bell housing bolt) when I'm ready to use the 3/4 link calculator. How does that sound?

    @Boogerweldz 6 лет назад

    These vids are quite good and grab the main concepts in a way easy to understand both in your visual aides, and your descriptions of actual scenarios on an trail obstacle or a
    Mcourse.
    It got a little ambiguous in how AS/AD work at high or low figures, almost describing them the same, but the your trail scenario examples draw a better mental pic.
    If I could add, the caster changes throughout suspension travel are low on priority in most cases. This is articulation, not jumping or desert. Much of what you described is more prevalent in a front or off set axle at the ujoint, But is almost nonissue for centered, especially a rear when caster means nothing, only a ujoint bind would be of concern.
    The entire axle needs to do these huge changes, not much of this happens in articulation and should be less of a concern if you are forced to mount a link shorter/longer/etc because of available space on the chassis.
    A simple limit strap at the axle center or above the diff wi t hamper flexing, but will keep the driveshaft happy. You can use it for loose attachment of ARB lines, brake lines, etc safely protected from over extension as well.
    You can’t feel AS or AD numbers changing from 40-55%, it’s likely the vehicle won’t even yield a performance difference. It’s 40-130 that’s apparent and has elements of concern. 40 being great in the rear, but not so much as a fronts where brake dive would be an issue. Yet 130 would be wasted propulsion forces in a rear suspension as lifting, in front it would work as a traction aid and a force in opposing brake dive.
    More important that anything for the most part is not how instant center relates to CofG, but roll centers can totally foul up a vehicles handling and if not a dedicated crawler, a potential disaster.
    If you don’t respect and understand roll centers and buikd them flat or at least out of oversteeer, then stay the F@ck off public highways!
    Way more important than an As/AD or caster changes through whole axle compression/droop.
    A short arm TJ lift of 4+” is a great example of how everything can be ruined in a lift kit that only lifts. An 80 series landcruiser at higher lifts(so I’m not being a racist, lol) quickly has similar issues and both are hugely evident if you use the online spreadsheets by Dan Barcroft (triaged) described in these videos.
    Lastly, when hitting a rock or log on the trail, it’s affect on suspension would be vaguely the change in instant center to new contact patch(a raising of instant center and AS/AD affectively, but there’s an element of tangent not accounted for in that, the closer to parallel and inline with instant center the less impact that creates on vehicles motion. But a 3 foot boulder at 20 mph is what it is, lol.
    Long (32-38”) flat links are always and have always been good advice. 25% of tire diameter isn’t relevant if you build the link mounting points at a ‘strength’ level consistent with the increased torque they would absorb with less seperation. Or vice versa. But it’s a safe figure for generic brackets of a36 .250 from anywhere and your average welder.
    That could easily be 6” on a 40” tire safely with more elaborate brackets supported in multiple planes (not two lower link tabs welded downhand on a 14 bolt axle tube for example)and wrapping around axle tubes further.
    Again, nice to see someone making videos that truly represent concepts so anyone can relate instead of bad info on a google search from ill informed web Nazi’s!!! Hats off to you sir. I gotta subscribe and watch them all!

    • @michaelbaca7093
      @michaelbaca7093 5 лет назад

      Leaf springs are a "Load bearing device." You squish them from the top, then apply enough force to turn the tires, but without peeling out. Leaf springs are a "Static" or "Stable" device for steady drivers.
      Cal-trac bars are meant to stop the leaf springs from getting wound up and hopping on a street vehicle. Technically, that makes leaf springs a no-anti squat 4-link, but that might be an insult to 4-links.
      These Busted Knuckle guys are more experienced than the Engineering Explained guy, and are giving you very valuable advice. A 4 link with multiple holes is a formidable implement.

    I'm still having a hard time understanding this in a long arm jeep application. On the front most companies have a choice of a single sided radius arm or a 3 link type set up. I get that the absolute center changes in these setups but what exactly does that do? The goal is to use anti squat to reduce unloading on a climb. But in a normal street driven weekend warrior type build is this overthinking it? I'm not racing ultra 4 or looking to do the baja 1000. Is the 3 link the new trend so everyone wants it even if they dont need it? Is the reduced potential to bind the u joint with a radius arm more of a benefit over the anti-squat?

      Or yo a simple option would be a valve bypass valve on the rear shocks hooked up to a botton on the steering wheel. When you launch off an obstacle u can hit it so ur preloaded suspension launches the back end up!
      Or ya if you could control the valving by switch front and rear you could do some cool stuff for sure.
      Hit the button to launch and then hit another button to increase the valving over normal so you land and absorb everything smoothly and put that power and weight directly into the hill.

    When a tire hits a ledge, the contact point is no longer the point you've drawn the line to the IC from. It rides up and forward, in essence messing up you carefully plotted anti-squat geometry. Only big tires or long links can save the day in that scenario.

      +denelvo good point, and i am not sure that anyone has ever calculated the change in anti squat based on the point of contact with the tire to an obstacle. From physics, rotational force does not care what point on a circumference the force is applied. You would still apply the circumferential torque to the lever arm which in this case would be the theoretical point in which the 2 bars meet in space. Id be interested to see if i am correct but i believe the calculation would remain the same and anti squat would remain the same. you got me thinking...

      +jake burkey now you've got me thinking as well! :-)
      Yeah, rotationally, it doesn't matter, torque is torque. And the IC doesn't change, but the point of contact between tire and earth does. So the last line you'd draw, from contact patch to IC, would end up higher and come closer to the CG, for more anti-squat.
      At least, that's how it plays out in my head. But I feel the need to fire up SolidWorks...
      Weird, eh, if 'ground level' is no longer ground level? It's a pretty important datum.
