I know that's one of the side effects of the torque arm... if it annoys me
enough I'll do something about it too. Floating rear brakes? That would also
eliminate pad knockback due to axle end float.

Do you know offhand the pinion shaft offset (sideways) relative to the diff
centerline? That distance gives you some constant U-joint angle, and it's
about twice as large as most other cars because the Tiger's driveshaft is so
short.
