Custom rear member


panchovisa

Rear member is welded and braced into one piece (bolts just fill holes where standard three piece stampings attach). Braces go to my new jacking point needed to clear dual exhaust that mounts to bolt hanging down right behind jack point. I believe that more rigid member will improve the handling by keeping rear suspension from deflecting lateraly.

Chris, I can't believe that nobody (but you) has seen that for a few dollars you can keep the rear suspension from lozenging. Under very hard cornering the rinky-dink bolt together rear member moves. An 1/8" lateral movement at the cross member translates to approximately twice that in change of rear toe (per side, the opposite wheel toe goes the other way)!

I don't belive that four wheel steering has any place on a sports car, that wasn't designed for it. In fact I'd like to tie the rear member into the moustash bar mounting bolts also. Oh krap, I've just made more work for myself!
