Keeps rearend in location
lal Naja Art the setup or showed pictures of help keep the rearend under the car from moving BUT don't stop the rotation of the hubs and twisting. This is why the watts is bolted to the hat or upper hub. Another car company has done the same radius rod setup as you to try and stop rearend movement. I have seen Jag housing crack at the top 4 bolt mounts. This is the reason ERA has their rearend in a cradle. It has free movement without twisting. It also has support of the mounting areas. I added a watts system from contemp cobras and removed it because of no room to fit the frame mounting points. I worked on the suspension to stop wheel hop and just cut out the burnouts to impress friends. I have also seen the pivot bolts break on the Watts setup from Contemp. A small shoulde bolt holds the pivot bar in location. It's not big enough. Installing rods on the front of the rearend IMO would do more to control the rear from moving than rear bars also. The other question is if you put too much control on the rearend, it could cause binding and break something also. The watts on top of the hub housing is the better idea. Rick L.
