Admittedly, my understanding of suspension configurations isn't great, but why are the fbody suspension setups only considered 3 link?

Control arms (2 links)
Panhard (1 link)
Torque Arm )1/2 links)

Are torque arms not considered a "link"? They are needed to keep the rear end from rotating so I don't see how they aren't included as a link?

Thanks

The 4 link suspensions i have seen use a panhard bar

you could call it a 3 link with a panhard bar..

Its the same thing with Jeeps, for whatever reason the track bar/panhard bar is not added to the link count. Really just comes down to what become the most commonly accepted way to refer to the suspension, but there are 4 kinematic suspension links.

The panhard bar is not counted. The torque arm and lower control arms are the 3 links.
