    H-arm linkage geometry

    Didn't seem to take my attachment earlier. H-arms were used for example on the 90s Thunderbird rear, or the current GMC Acadia. The lower arm has 4 pivot bushings instead of the 2 + ball joint of an A-arm, and the upper link is a 2-force member with a pivot bushing on either end that only...

    H-arm linkage geometry

    Description is in the attached file. Not really interested in compliance effects at the moment, just determining the theoretical values of anti-squat/lift (if any) for an H-arm & camber link suspension. Thanks for any help,

    H-arm linkage geometry

    Does anyone know how to calculate anti-lift/squat for an H-arm rear suspension? No books that I have access to provide a specific H-arm geometry example graphically layed out. In RCVD, Milliken says to just determine the side view geometry in the same manner as a semi-trailing arm. However if...
