Does anyone have any accurate information on just how much the rear springs on a 1/4 elliptic will allow the axle to move side-to-side on hard cornering? It seems there must be a lot of force on the

Well, you won't tear out the mounts on a solid car - historic racing proves that. On the other hand, a panhard rod sure does help. I'll post a couple of photos of a car (1/2 elliptic) without panhard

As promised, here are the photos that show just how much the rear axle moves under hard cornering (on a 1/2 elliptic car). http://home.vicnet.net.au/~mikeg/cars/panhard.htm Mike p.s. I am selling thi

The wheels are 13x5", the tyres Hoosier Street TDs No panel work was required, nor allowed in that class of racing. i.e. it is totally stock panel work, trim, suspension and brakes. OK, springs, ride
