I have a reverse triangular four link and I was taking the bottom links off (frame to bottom of axle see pictures) and i disconnected the side where my knee is first and as soon as the bolt slid out the link pushed back a little, and as you see in the picture in the link how it lines up at the bottom now but not in the rear, did I mess anything up, is it ok to just adjust the screw end of the link in a little more on the removable side so it lines back up with the hole? or did i mess up some kind geometry as soon as i saw it do that i set the link bar down and got on here lol, I'm not too sure some help asap would be nice, here is the picture: http://yfrog.com/3ufourlinkpushedbackj
uhm if u didnt have any problems with the truck pulling to one side or any alignment pobablems like that , i would put it back to jus how it was. and idk if u can take thelinks off while the truck is on the ground. thats alot of stress.
keep in mind that if u lengthen or shorten that bar it might change the angle on the yoke and driveshaft.
looks like the axle rolled over some and misalighned the bolt hole......just shove it back into place and should be fine. when you cycle your suspension up that high it changes the angle of your pinion as well as the whole axle so it'll rotate it some.. it may have been under some tension while rotated and let loose a bit once the tension was let go.
Cool thanks fellas, i'm gonna try jacking up the rear end to see if that makes it easier to put back in place and i'll keep you posted if i have any problems
Put it on some jack stands and let the air out of the rears and was cake getting it back in, thanks again!
Yes, NEVER do any work on the suspension without jack stands and airing down first. You know that now though.
