Why radius rods?

(1/1)

retroboy:
Howdy. Why am I seeing radius rods on FEDS with either bolt in or weld on front axles?

dreracecar:
Could depend on front axle width or just a style/look, but no written rule

fuel749:
More than likely a style thing, but NHRA  requires radius rods on beam type front axles that are more than 18" from king pin axis to the axles rigid mounting point.

rooman:
My customer Bob Buckley (Rock and Roll Express) had me build a wider axle for his car earlier this year and added radius rods just to make the car look more retro.
