4 Link Instant Center to Center of Gravity Explained | Street Outlaws Suspension Rant

4 Link Instant Center to Center of Gravity Explained: 4 Link Instant Center Explained and the 4 Link Instant Center to Center of Gravity relationship! Let's breakdown how the instant center's relationship to the anti squat line and the center of gravity influences your drag car's suspension and chassis! This video should help with 4 Link Suspensions and provide what many search for as 4 Link Explained. The Anti Squat line is not just for 4 link drag cars. That same line applies to leaf springs, ladder bars, f body torque arms, and any type of suspension mount points with a solid rear axle. IRS is a different beast so see the link below for IRS rear.

There is a Street Outlaws Suspension rant toward the end of the video. I apologize now if that offends you. I am a fan of the show, but I just had to share my thoughts on what I saw on a recent YouTube video. Please learn from it and take it to heart.
