    Who's four link kit is that? And is it made for a Maverick, or something you are making fit from another type of car?

    It's not right that someone has stepped up and made a four link kit for a Maverick, and we can't get it here in the US. Kinda sucks.

    Does the angle of the upper links not look right to anyone else? Maybe it is just an illusion because of the pictures.

    I have done a few 4 link set ups on rock crawlers and I don't think from the looks of the geometry that it would work. I would love to get the measurements and angles to see how it would work up in a 4 link calculator.

    I think they know what they are doing ... the only thing I can tell you is that the axle moves freely,up and down.... as expected. if it had any resistance, then yes I would say there's something wrong..but I am not an expert:thumbs2:

    Once it's all together and in operation, that will eliminate all speculation.
    This is a great build and gud possibility if there is enough intrest on this side of the equator, maybe the mfg will consider selling them here.

    Actually looks pretty simple, wouldn't be too hard to make.

    I still don't think the geometry is anywhere close to being correct. The way that set up looks I would have rather done a trackbar set up.

    I do agree with that set up it would be easy to fabricate.
