Can Somebody explain to me what the X, Y, Z is referring to on this.
I can get the AS between 40% and 65% but I am not sure that my figuring is right on.

I know some of you had to use some sort of calc. to figure out your 4 link setup and I am just starting to TRY to come up with something. I'm by no means any good at "MATH" in general so any help is appreciated.
 
(x) is how far forward your pivot points are from the centerline of the axle
(y) is 1/2 of the separation between links at either the axle or the frame
(z) is height from the ground


to clarify for (y)...if your separation between the link ends on the axle is 38", you will enter 19".....if the separation at the frame is 8", you will enter 4"

i can definitely understand why there is a bit of confusion...it helps to draw it out as well as having on the computer screen
 
check the other pages in the spreadsheet...there is a diagram explaining the XYZ axis...
