Mayf,
It's the rear suspension, and does nothing for the steering problems.
It reduces unsprung weight, binding from the stock rear suspension
design, has a torque arm to eliminate axle wind-up and Watts linkage
for precise lateral location of the axle vs. the arc that the panhard
makes. It has fully adjustable aluminum links, including the torque arm
to allow for tuning the geometry and is fully heim jointed to assure
absolute zero binding forces through the entire range of motion.

Ken Mattices old Tiger has the 1st of 2 installations with a modified
leaf spring mounting assembly, I have the 2nd installation with Koni
coil-overs instead of the leafs.

Some pictures can be found @

http://www.snapfish.com/share/p=237141097808278855/l=35061557/otsc=SYE/otsi=SALB

The later will require you register on the Snapfish site, but it's
painless and the photos are much better there.

FYI, Bruce Griggs has little interest in building any more Tiger
set-ups... the Mustang busniess has him too busy. It was also quite
expensive for me and likely would require a much larger incentive to
convince him to do another one. I tried to get him thinking about
licensing the design, but he had no interest in that.
