It would help prevent the drive train moving under torque. Something you don't
see as often is a steady rod to limit forward movement of the drive train. The
Bentley manual shows a factory bracket to do this, but I haven't seen one
personally. I have seen the crank damper hit the rack x-member in a crash. For
racing, if it were easier to do, we would mount the engine and trans solidly
to the chassis.

#yiv2020711142 p {margin:0;}would that engine stiffener/torsion bar seen on
those race prepped cars have an effect on std road engines ie keeping them
from twisting or shaking at low idle or fast starts?
