3 link VS long arms

[justtorchit]

Zullo, you have not seen any of the issues with killing UCA bushings and folding pass side upper mounts from radius arms?

on kristys setup, the bushings are fine....

but the binding folded the passanger side upper and just about ripped it off. I think it would have been fine if it was gusseted and plated before hand.

Reading pirate it is a toss up for some one in our wheeling area. Idk
For radius arms were would I want the bushings?
Same for a 3 link since it is my dd

Radius arms should have bushings on the axle side lowers, and uppers.
3 link should have all "hard" joints. No bushings.

Makes sense

3 links with hard joints seems to be the way to go.

I work with CNC machines and can do a drill and tap cycle to machine the threads in solid material on a 3 link is that a waste?

Well question with a radius arm setup can you use all hard joints to fight hopping?

No. There has to be some give somewhere because of the inherent bind in the setup.
There should be bushings in one end of the upper, and lower arm.
