• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

TE350 rear suspension link changes.

It would seem Husqvarna shortened the rear suspension linkage in the later model TE/TC. In the photo's I have attached it can be seen the bolt hole is drilled in a different place. The longer one is from my 94'TE350 and the shorter one is off a TC610 approx. 99' model. Is anyone able to tell me what the advantage is of the shorter link and or why the manufacturer altered the link.
 
The link was shortened.....as you observed in, '99. The shorter link raises the rear end, therefore decreasing the steering head angle to provide quicker steering.
 
Thanks dirtaddict23, I knew one of you guys would have the answer. The TE could certainly do with quicker steering, as compared to my WR it is pretty ordinary.Is the only option to weld and re-drill the orginal or is a later model link compatible ? The later link I have in the pic's use larger diametre pins and bolts in particular the chassis mount.
