I've got a question for some of the more knowledgeable suspension guys.
When I watch KOH, I notice a lot of the vehicles have rear trailing arms with the coilover attached to the trailing arms as oppose to the axle itself (like it is on our Jeeps).
What is the reason for this?
Also, in this case, is it called a trailing arm or a control arm, and what's the difference?
Here's a photo of Randy Slawson's KOH buggy. Look at the rear coiler and you'll see what I'm talking about.
