1 link is the axle heim
1 link is one tie rod

Right but the baseplate is also a link. It might be static but itās also a link.

I see you typingā¦ THe baseplate controls the other linksā¦ itās not a link

Try googling 4 bar linkages.
The āframeā still counts as a kinematic link.

the key youāre missing is the āgroundsā are connected by a baseplate or an axle

You had to edit an image taken from the 4 bar linkage Wikipedia page to prove your point, But sure, Your probably right. You win.
Iām just trying to spread some engineering knowladge, didnāt come here to argue about semantics.

i hate arguing, i didnāt think we wereā¦ I just didnāt subscribe to your thoughtsā¦ perhaps I could have been a little less abruptā¦ but i honestly happen to know what i am talking aboutā¦

I donāt know if you wish to carry on the discussion or just let it passā¦ either way is ok with meā¦ but seriously you linked a four ābarā not 4 link ā¦shall we continue or should I let dawgs that are tired stay there?

Damn man you canāt read or something? 
A four-bar linkage , also called a four-bar , is the simplest movable closed-chain linkage. It consists of four bodies, called bars or links,

koolioā¦ you seem like a fairly intelligent mammalā¦
read thru this thread and if you think the control mechanism, (discussed) is a 3-link mechanism or a 4-bar design?
I got half a beer left iāll waitā¦
Sorry, no time to argue with weasel who tries to weasel out of arguments with random excuses 
And he was right regarding baseplate as a link if looked from physics/engineering perspective but maybe it is too much for your intelligent primates brains

whaaaa the bad man called me names on the internetā¦
the axle heim is one control linkā¦ the rods are the other control linksā¦ i count three using all my fingers on one handā¦
