Front 3 link ?. Advantage of driver's or passenger's upper link

[scotch737]

Just wanted to ask. I've read an awful lot on geometry for 3 and 4 link suspensions. But I'm a noob when it comes to building one myself. I know that the side you choose to locate your upper "3rd" link usually depends on clearance issues.. Motor, starter, exhaust, etc. Just wanted to know from any of you who have built them, Is there a distinct advantage to either side ? Steering/handling/cycling wise? I really can't see any. But I do know the trac bar has to be mounted to driver's side of frame for steering geometry. I know this might seem a noob question. Just covering all my basics before planning out my front build in the triaged.

I typically recommend the side that the diff is on. Itll help control wrap/torque better.

I was in the passenger seat on a rig years back.. learnt all about dat track bar location very quickly.. When your drag link becomes a suspension link and no steering LOL.
