The ultimate set up for a Jag with a solid mount differential is radius rods with a watts link. The watts link is mounted high on the hub and minimzes rotational loads from the half shafts on the lower control arm bearings. The radius rods minimize tension and compression loads on the lower control arm. Some Cobra designs make facilitating the installation of radius rods a challenge.
Curt Hamilton is rebuilding my diff.while I'm traveling on business. On my return I will begin the assembly process and modifications of the rear end in my Contemporary. It will include radius rods a watts link, replacement of bearings with bushings,lca gussets,dual shocks,sway bar and a structure to support the rear fulcrum bars that will tie into the side brackets. I think this will stabilize the rear end in the chassis.
