Other than the reasons I stated, three-link solid-axle suspensions work great . . . providing the geometry is done correctly. I've used them in a lot of race cars. Four-links, too. The only thing you have to watch is u-joint angle. This means stiffening the rear spring so wheel travel is limited. Going over bumps is no picnic.
