Link Bracket Angles

[Toy4rnr]

Been searching for information on this and haven't really found any answers in regards to heims, only bushings. How important is it to have the brackets angled at each other so the links are perpendicular to the bolt in a 4 link suspension? Or does it not matter unless there is binding concerns?

For my situation, I am mostly curious about the frame side lower brackets and links. My axle side lower link brackets will be mounted wider than my frame resulting in about a 10* angle inwards towards the frame. I was thinking of just welding the lower brackets facing straight back if there is no binding.

I don't think that 10 degrees on heims would be a problem

everybody sells 10 degree brackets did you buy them yet?

My axle side lower brackets are 10* brackets. Frame side are just typical link brackets that you would weld to the bottom like a spring hanger. My upper frame side brackets are 25* and the axle side the heims will be horizontal with vertical bolts so that's taken care of. Just mostly making sure I'm not doing something wrong with the lower frame side. It doesn't seem like it would be an issue to just mount them facing straight back so long as there isn't binding, but never done a 4 link before. I could weld them on clocked 10* but I would rather have them sit flush, which is why I ask.
