|  4 link suspension question
Hey, so i'm building a jeep from scratch(scx10 running gear with homemade frame, shock hoops, and New Bright TJ body ). I got to the rear suspension. I made some shorter links and bolted them on and now its hard to compress! why!? Im so confused! Nothing is in the way.

Your geometry is probably off. Pics would definitely help. Probably an easy fix.

Anytime I have an issue like this, I go back to what was working and try again. Put the old links back on and see what happens. I know it can be a pain in the ass, but throwing a sanity check in from time to time can make a problem easier to spot. |

I can't do that because I'm building it from scratch, so i can't just go back to how it was. There is no how it was, only how it is. lol if that makes sense
