I would like to know the pros & cons of a triangulated 4-link vs a 4-link with panhard bar. Is one better for the front end? I've got the engineering and fabrication skills on lock but I don't know which is a better setup. It's going to be on a lengthened Samurai chassis with Toyota drivetrain and a Ford 302. I'm only going to run a 35" Bogger. The suspension needs to be fairly stout to handle the extra weight of the components, so is one inherently stonger over the other.

A panhard bar with a long travel suspension
will cause some sideways movment of the axles
as they go thru their travel range, depending
of coarse on how high and how the bar is mounted

and a 4link will have a bunch of bumpsteer ,if your not driving it on the road much id go with a tryangulated 4link

Why will a 4 link have bumpsteer?

 because your axel moves up and down and your drag link is attached to it and the pitman arm on your steering box when the axel moves the length from your steering arm to your pitman arm changes but the length of your draglink is the same ,thats why the panhard arm is so popular becouse if it runs parallel with your drag link it pushes the axel to one side or the other to keep the distance from the steering arm on the axel to the pitman arm the same during suspension travel  

a triangulated 4 link will bumpsteer

If your  panhard bar and steering
linkage are mounted at the same
points and the same angles, bump
steer should be minimal, as the axle
and steering move in the same arc
as the assembly moves up and down
