Swingarm brackets...
Looking for some pics of some swing arm drops for lifting purposes! Not sure how far to drop them. Also, would I need to get longer shift cables and choke cable?

Re: Swingarm brackets...

Re: Swingarm brackets...
G9's don't use one. They keep the rear end from moving side to side in the newer semi independent rear sus. cars.

Re: Swingarm brackets...
I would like to build a 3 link set up on the rear. Didn't think I would need one anyway...

Re: Swingarm brackets...
The 3-link as it is done in a car,has 1 upper and 2 lower control-arms.This allows a lot of articulation with minimal bind.You still need a Panhard-Bar(also called a Track-Locator)Its' purpose is to keep the axle centered.It needs to be mounted parallel to the axle or as close as possible,or the axle will walk sideways while it travels up/down.As far as the swing-arm drops.Mine is a Marathon so things may vary.I made mine from 3" x 3/8" flat-stock(2" is fine,I had 3" in the shop,and you can get away with 1/4"),I dropped the front 1/2 the height of the lift-kit(5" lift).This drastically improved the angles in the engine-area.Cables and such all reach fine.Hope this helps.
