A Push/Pull-rod & Bell crank suspension is relatively basic mechanical engineering so it's not essential to find a racing-oriented book.
However, I imagine the Allan Staniforth book or 'The Milliken' might be your best bet - followed by the Paul VanValkenburgh and Carrol Smith books. Off the top of my head, you'd need to have an idea of the cars' Roll-Axis and CG distribution & Wheel/Tyre combo being used. Car track, KPA, Swing-Arm length, etc. and whether you want rising-rate suspension or not are also parameters requiring fore-thought. Thereafter the individual links and mounts can be designed using conventional mechanical engineering. Push-rod is a column under compression, rocker is just a lever and wishbones are slightly more complicated being parts of a 2-D truss where the chassis is one side of the triangle. A word of caution - Don't consider being trendy and using flexures. Don't even think of it!!! |

Push rod pushes the the rocker while the pull rod pull the rocker.
Push rod has it's arm from the lower wishbone to the upper part of the chassis while pull rod's arm are from the upper wishbones to the lower part of the chassis. |
