Rear Suspension Overview: Part 1 - Rear End Alignment 

I've said it before and I'll say it again, thank you. Good to know there are people out there that give the correct advice on how to do shit right.

I learned more about tape measures in this video than I did in the entire 61 years that I've been alive.

Greatly appreciate your time in explaining where to start to setting up the rear ended correctly. Thanks so very much.

"The ability to use a tape measure" was where I lost it, omg that was about the funniest shit I've heard in a while

That chassis is a work of art. Truly amazing. I'm building a drag chassis on my channel right now and this video really helped. Thanks man.

"all these little marks between these numbers mean something" is where i lost it! lol

Once again, I really appreciate ALL of your awesome knowledge that you share 👍

Very informative for basic setup of four link. Great explanations!

Excellent video, Tim!! Very informative no bullshit explano!! Keep up the great work sir!

Great videos! Thanks for sharing the information!!!

Great video guys

You are the fucking Chuck Norris of race car builders Tim Mc. You're awesome bro

great cars and videos , thank you

Outstanding thanks so much Tim

Great video. Thank you!

Awesome video!! Thank you

Great instruction

Great stuff, subscribed👍

Awesome....tell it like it is!....appreciate that .

Thanks for the video :-)

"...jumbo max motherfuckers..." hahahahah I love it. You got a like just from that.

is there an advantage/disadvantage to having 4link bars long or short? or should I say is there an optimal bar length for a 4link system in a drag racing application?

How do you keep the wishbone from causing a bind with the 4 link?

Can you check alignment and preload hanging with a track bar

Awesome this is naturally what I would square my rearend off of.. but I don't have that bar 😕

I really like this I find it helpful

Please help me understand more about rear suspension of a vehicle.

This non parallel bars apply only for dragsters.

Yeah. The tape measure thing made me laugh too!

Hearing you explain this really blew my mind that guys with this much money can’t read a tape measure.

Thanks for the video! The tape measure....lol

i think you meant shortest number. if you sweep the tape and get a longer number its because you have your tape at an angle. you can always get a longer number , there is only one shortest number , you may have caught this idk , surly its not worth going back and editing a video for. Anyone going through the lengths of building a suspension from scratch will likely figure this out as well. Also i have watched many of your videos on building drag cars, Do you have an engineering degree , did you go to a trade school for automotive fabrication and chassis building or are you self taught?

"Can You Read a Tape Measure?" LOL Truth

Would this type of 4 link be streetable at all? I'm working on a 68 ford fairlane and I was going to ditch the rear leaf spring set up for something else. I also wanted to make room for larger tires. What would you recommend for street/strip set up? Wouldn't the solid hiems make the car sound like a Sherman tank on the street? Planning on running about 1000-1200hp with Lenco st1200. Motor and trans are ready to go. I have a car and a Chassi works front end I picked up for a song so I have a decent front set up. I'm just not sure what to do on the rear and I didn't want to gut my car completely for the rest of a full chassis kit and "super jumbo max mother fucker" shark bite cage kits lol.

They make a neat little device called a laser! Wow

You mean to tell me, that every little black line has a corresponding number broken down, like a fraction!

Level tape will give you the shortest number not longest!!

3:54 Oh my!

how to derive the camber angle? not measuring but deriving...

WHY center the rear for drag racing? I'll say no.

Most racers do not understand just how important the rear diff is and the way the link systems work they can talk about an engine all day but the rear suspension is voodoo. the engine makes the power the trans supply's the power to the diff by way of various gear ratios but the diff applies all of it to the tires and the ground to make the car move the engine is just a power plant. it all happens at the rear of the car the sooner racers learn this the better they will be.

Am a student in motor mechanics

I'd like to see Tim do a lesson on reading a tape measure. lol

If you use those aluminum bars to help center your rear end, thats good if your bars are equal, but if you put rear steer in the 4 link I believe that method won't work.

Know how to read a tap !!! omg lmao !!!

. Frame measuring machines/software is in millimeters. No fractions to fart with. Just sayin.

Good thing you’re not trying to teach people how to use a level. Because after a century guys still think if the bubble is between the lines it’s level. Lmao 😂

Good thing i just drive a custom chassis around every day or this video wouldve been useless.
