I got some pictures of Erin driving my weird little car thru a series of turns that show how a zero roll resistance rear suspension works on a swing axel VW. If you FMod guys are interested they are in my albums. Go to my personal info and have a look. It works a lot better than the limit straps that were on my Manx Clone.


I can't spell........

Does the zero roll resistance affect jacking forces?

Yes
Below the horizontal coil over is a rod that limits drop of the rear axles. The way it is currently adjusted when the car is off the ground the rear wheels will only drop to the point of being parallel with the ground. This gives a range of camber change from 0 degrees to maybe -5. The car has none of the instant oversteer typical of a swing axle VW.
