As long as they don't bind and/or adversely affect your axle position/angle you should be fine.

Where are they mounted on the chassis? Are they parallel with each other? Hows the trianglation setup?


There are many things that can effect your suspension other than just different length of links.

the mounts on the chassi are parallel above each other and the chassi is approximately 90 mm wide.

just make sure that when your links connect that your steering is vertical and not leaning forward or back!

Hmm, never thought of making links like that with the all thread all the way through. Keeps from having to thread the tube or worse yet weld the nuts to the ends of the tube...nice job.
