4 Trailing Links

There are four chassis mounting points, one for each trailing link.

There are four axle mounting points, one for each trailing link. In some configurations, either the upper pair or the lower pair of links is arranged as an A-arm with a single mounting.

Satchell Link The angled arm link design is an evolution of the basic four-link setup. In an angled arm suspension, two of the four links are angled in towards the center of the vehicle. These angled arms can then located the rear axle in the lateral directions. Therefore a cumbersome Panhard bar or complicated Watt's Linkage is not necessary in an angled arm setup. The best location for the angled arms is the Satchell link design. This configuration puts the angled arms below the axle and pointing in. With a Satchell link rear suspension the designer can achieve a low roll center, good anti-squat, good support for the axle, and there is no need for extra chassis bracing. Also, the Satchell link is compact and can be squeezed into applications where other styles of live real axle could not be made to fit.
