MNlotus Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hey i was just wondering what the difference is between these two rear suspension styles. Is there any performance advantage to the watts linkage? I have seen a lot of cars with this option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNlotus Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 the caterham site says the watts linkage kit replaces the existing radius arms http://caterhamparts.co.uk/product.php?id_product=169 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDingo8MyBaby Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Here's a basic example of how they work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt's_linkage Now instead of controlling the lateral movement of the axle as shown in this article, they control the fore-aft movement. This helps reduce roll-steer. I can't tell you if they would be beneficial or not on a dedion car, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
