    Default cusco formula link

    been doing a bit of research and there is very little info on formula link front ends. alot of websites seem to list it as trailing arms aswell as the castor rod control arm setup.

    anywho i was just wondering what people who have actuallly used them think about them?

    They are the ducks nuts, the advantage this setup has is that it allows the castor rod to pivot under load, and when castor is added the arm has a free point to pivot on instead of being fixed. if u can afford BUY it! but you are looking at around $1600 - $1700 landed.
    AJPS can get them for you.

    I just wanted some first hand reports to see if they are that much better than a normal rose jointed setup. And i'v only seen buddy parts use one in his ke 70.

    be warned, if you go rose-jointed 5 link in the rear, then you better start buying every pair of axles you can find

    LOL. WTF

    What part of having rose-jointed links and panhard rod make axles snap?

    Intense force on the diff while cornering as the diff cant flex in its mounts at all with rose joints. It will more likely snap the welds on the mounts or chassis before it snaps axles.
