Trans-Am 3 Link Rear Suspension


The RRS bolt-in 3-Link features better geometry than any factory four-link set-up. This superior geometry results in eliminated roll under-steer, accurate turn-in and superior steady-state cornering, which makes the car more neutrally balanced and endows it with more predictable handling.

Bolt-In 3-Link Rear Suspension

For performance applications, the RRS 3-Link system increases chassis beaming and torsion rigidity for faster suspension reaction time (for better feedback), greater torque handling capacity, optimum torque transference to the chassis and precise control over differential movements. It also allows wheels with up to a 5½-inch offset to be used.


Best of all, the modular design incorporates generous user-adjustable settings including; ride height, damper tuning, pinion angle, lateral differential location and roll centre height (for fine-tuning the vehicle’s handling characteristics). All of which results in better traction (for improved acceleration and braking) along with outstanding cornering ability.

  • Tyre Clearance

    As the factory leaf spring system compresses, the differential housing can move forward as much as 60mm. When cornering (i.e. one side down one side up), this moves one side further forward than the other – which induces hideously undesirable roll under-steer. The RRS 3-Link is designed to limit this fore/aft movement of the differential housing to 15mm (throughout its travel) which substantially minimises roll under-steer. If your wheel well openings have been modified to accept very wide or very large diameter tyres that run close to the guard, you may experience guard fouling problems with the RRS 3-Link due to the different arc of travel the differential housing now moves through. That is to say; with the RRS 3-Link, the tyre will stay more centred in the wheel arch throughout the range of suspension travel.

  • Varying Tolerances

    Every RRS bracket is laser cut to exact tolerances and all frames and cross-members are jig welded in precision fixtures for steadfast consistency. In comparison, Ford’s original construction tolerances were quite loose, with variances of up to 8mm (5/16”) being observed. Also, collision and rust repairs can result in considerable movement of structural members. A couple of examples of the typical inaccuracies introduced by rust repair work include; lateral shrinkage when adding new floor sections and lateral spreading when adding a new tunnel. New floors often entail new seat boxes. Many installers use the seat mounting holes in the seat boxes to align the replacement floor sections – this is hideously inaccurate.

  • RRS Built-in Tolerance

    To accommodate these unknown variables, all RRS mounts and frames are manufactured for ease of fitment and allow for significant chassis variations. However, they may require jacking into the location or some deft persuasion with a plastic-faced hammer or heavy rubber mallet.

The RRS Advantage

  • Superior ride & outstanding cornering ability.
  • Drastically improved suspension geometry.
  • Reduced roll understeer.

In-Depth RRS Trans-Am 3-Link Benefits

  • As the factory leaf spring system compresses, the differential housing can move forward as much as 60mm.
  • When cornering (i.e. one side down one side up), this moves one side further forward than the other – which induces roll under-steer.
  • The RRS 3-Link is designed to limit this fore/aft movement of the differential housing to 15mm (throughout its travel) which substantially minimizes roll under-steer.
  • The extremely torque arm the RRS 3-Link boasts drastically improves the suspension geometry over the horribly wrong factory leaf spring set-up.
  • The RRS 3 Link rear suspension system boasts dramatically improved suspension geometry over the inferior factory leaf spring set up.
  • The superior geometry of the RRS 3 Link results in a drastically reduced roll under-steer, accurate turn in and firm flat cornering.
  • The RRS 3 link makes the handling of the car more neutrally balanced and endows the car with predictable handling.
