If you picture the wheels with no suspension parts holding the hub in place, with just the driveshafts attached spinning the wheels, the wheels want to roll towards the front of the car. So when tires grab/slip/grab, they're actually moving horizontally front/back as well as up/down. By tilting the assembly forward, it makes it harder to flex since it would be flexing towards the ground. How'd I do? I know I didnt take into account the differential. --.scubasteve.--

It stays - AzHeat 17:32:29 03/25/04 Do you really think the whole subframe flexs enough---> - Kyle(Houston) 17:41:46 03/25/04 I don't know how much the subframe flexes but - kuah@splparts.com 18:04:45 03/25/04 In addition - kuah@splparts.com 17:45:58 03/25/04 The reason it works is because the actual subframe - ScubaSteve 17:24:24 03/25/04 nm I'm wrong.
