Howdy. Why am I seeing radius rods on FEDS with either bolt in or weld on front axles?
-
Could depend on front axle width or just a style/look, but no written rule
-
More than likely a style thing, but NHRA requires radius rods on beam type front axles that are more than 18" from king pin axis to the axles rigid mounting point.

My customer Bob Buckley (Rock and Roll Express) had me build a wider axle for his car earlier this year and added radius rods just to make the car look more retro.
