The rear
trailing
arms are
held in
position
during
installation.
The bushings
on the
trailing
arms are
lubricated
prior to
installation.
To fit the
front of the
arm, you may
need to use
a prybar to
slightly
spread apart
the factory
spring
mounting.
|
 |
The forward
fastener is
tightened in
the same
manner as
the stock
spring.
Don't over
tighten the
bolts or
you'll
distort the
factory
spring-mounting
ears.

Now that the
axle housing
is in the
car, the
center
section can
be
installed.
It's a heavy
assembly, so
an extra set
of hands is
helpful.
|
|
The torque
arm is
installed
over the
differential's
studs.
|
|
The front
end of the
arm attaches
to the front
cross
member, as
shown here.
It is
lubricated
even though
the pivot
amount is
less than 1
degree of
movement.
|
|
The torque
arm looks
like this
once all of
the
fasteners
are
installed.
Each stud
gets a
coating of
sealant to
prevent
fluid leaks
past the
studs. The
completed
Revelation
Racing
Supply
3-Link rear
suspension
is ready to
go and looks
like it will
offer
excellent
performance
once the car
is on the
road.

Helping It
Fit
Many
high-performance
Mustang
enthusiasts
are
interested
in larger
wheels and
tires for
their cars.
This is
especially
true of
road-racing
vehicles, as
the larger
contact
patch offers
better
adhesion in
corners.
Revelation
Racing
Supply's
3-Link rear
suspension
allows you
to run the
maximum size
tire your
wheelhouse
will
accommodate
because
there is no
guesswork
about where
the wheel
and tire
assembly
will go once
the car is
in motion.
Because the
axle is so
precisely
controlled
and located,
there's no
worry about
fore and aft
or sideways
movement
allowing
contact with
the
wheelhouse
or fender.
Because of
the torque
arm,
wheelhop is
also
eliminated.
With all
axle motion
variables
eliminated,
the
guesswork is
gone as
well.
