3-link rear suspension was the hot thing in the seventies for Pro Stockers, when properly dialed in it was superior to other setups. But the problem was just to tune the upper third rod. It needed sideway adjustments to make the car hookup straight and in level. If the rod was off just a fraction the car launched with a twist and put more load on one of the rear tires.

I saw cars were they had three or four inches of sideway adjustments to play with.

All theses adjustments possibilities made it difficult and they soon went to fourlink systems instead that when dialed in did just needed some adjustments in the shocks.

You can see on pictures of that time if a car has threelink, the way they launch is the telltale.
