Subject: Re: Making C4's perform at HPDE by BrianCunningham on 2009/1/22 22:05:23 I'll have to check out my rodends, I was going to put boots on mine so I could keep them greased and keep the dirt out. BTW thoughts on this? (not from the same thread) [QUOTE]redrose: do NOT consider the C4 rear suspension as a "4-link", it is NOT...the C4 rear suspension is a "torque arm" (vaguely similar to pre-1955 chev "torque tube" design or recent circle track "fifth coil" designs (less the coil), but differing from those as outer bearings (spindles) are divorced from the torque arm, on the C4...there is NO engine torque input to the C4 rear spindles, thus no chassis reaction (squat) caused by spindle controls (dogbones), under acceleration/decel--the torque arm (aka "C-beam), alone, does ALL "engine torque" input to the chassis...the dogbone/rear spindle does act as a "brake floater" and WILL input during braking, only.[/QUOTE] Quote:
