Leaf Springs & Coils Breakdown - Spring Time
|
Leaf springs are extremely stiff, which allows them to accurately locate the rearend in a Hotchkiss Drive suspension without the use of control arms. However, this stiffness limits the rearend's ability to roll and articulate. The ultimate upgrade for factory leaf-spring cars is a street four-link like this unit from Chassiswork for Camaros and Novas. Its triangulated upper links eliminate the need for a Panhard bar, and the spherical rod ends reduce binding and promote forward bite. View Related Article
