Suspension multi link torsion

Wilson9 · Apr 7, 2020

Looking for a new suspension setup
The one I'm looking at states multi link only.
Would this also be OK for solid beam torsion setup.

Erm no

What's the difference. As the fronts will be the same.

The rears?

You are trying to bang a square peg into a round hole, you cannot fit multi link components to a car that has beam suspension.

Quick pic to show just how different the two set ups are:

The bottom mount on the rear shock is wider on the multilink suspension and will not fit in the torsion beam mount.

Oh that's how they look like, never really knew, right, next time I'm going to my car (maybe in 2 weeks time), I will have a peak below...

If it’s a 4drive or more than 150ps it’s the independent set up. Everything else is the torsion beam.
