styler Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) Watts link Type 1 or 2 are used as locating members for a diff and they don't move the diff sideways when the suspension is in motion like a typical panhard rod setup does, nor needs adjustment in length when lowering. Watts link type 2 can be used to adjust roll centre which is usually fixed on a live axle setup. Some factory cars came with watts link eg later falcon is Type 1 and this can be fabricated to your car but be aware there are 2 types of watts link relating to the design and operation. Type 1 - The centre is be fixed to the diff and end of the rods to mounts on the car. This is the fixed style and has no roll centre adjustment. Type 2 - The centre is fixed to a mount on the car and the ends of the rods to the diff. This is the roll centre adjustable version. Edited May 14, 2012 by styler
