If all thats true, then I guess all those "HOT RODS" that jacked up their
rearends with over-sized shackles or air shocks, should have blown up or fell
apart by now. I can't imagine that there are very many cars, or trucks with
the engine level with the ground. If you drive over a curb, does the drive
shaft fall out ? Just a thought.
