Factory Five Racing 1933 Ford - The Cobra In Henry's Clothes

The base package includes the four-link rear suspension, but a three-link setup (shown) is available as an option. Though the illustration doesn't show the Panhard bar, its chassis end mounts to the rearmost tip of the triangulated structure on the driver's side and connects to a bracket on the axle's passenger side. Like the front, the rear suspension features Koni coil-sprung dampers. While not touched upon earlier, the oversized piston in the mono-tube design offers greater working area for more sophisticated digressive-rate damping. The design can also withstand greater gas pressure than a conventional twin-tube design can handle, giving the units even greater ability to suppress heat-induced cavitation that otherwise diminish a damper's effectiveness. Though 60 years old, it's still the baseline design for contemporary dampers. View Related Article
