[QUOTE="BMR Tech 2, post: 15323284, member: 174721"] Here is an animation that shows a Watts link in action: [ATTACH]68084.vB[/ATTACH] You can see the path the axle would follow, and how it would stay pretty much perfectly centered. The panhard animation I found isn't nearly as nice, but I'm sure you can picture in your head the motion that the axle takes when it has a bar with a "fixed" length. As the body of the car goes up and down, the panhard will push or pull the axle from one side to the other, causing the axle to swing like a pendulum. [ATTACH=full]686857[/ATTACH] This video is pretty neat, and I feel it does a pretty good job of showing the panhards arc vs the Watts links straight line. [video=youtube;a8cJCqWkfgk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8cJCqWkfgk[/video] A Watts link is a great option as well since it allows you to easily adjust your rear roll center without having to guess, measure, and check. The roll center is far more complicated to set with a panhard vs the Watts link. [/QUOTE]
