Locating axle for tramp is not usually required....I've found this not to be 
an issue with 160HP

Panhard rod or Watts link is not usually required either. I have a panhard 
rod installed, but doubtful it does anything.

Also, I run stock rear springs and have disabled my rear sway bar. I run a 
Quaiffe Torque Sensing differential unit and it likes a little rear 
compliance to work. 

(Front Springs are MGB-GT at 480# and lowers the car to my desired height. 
This is combined with Addco sway bar and Spax screwed to the limit)

I have stock rear lever shocks with MGB front lever shock valves, tightened, 
and run HD mototcycle front shock oil.

Ken Gillanders has a "Locator Kit" and many of racers use this.

I also found proper sized bronze bushings and replaced the rubber isolators 
in the rear spring eyelets. Any bearing shop will take your measurements and 
locate the proper bushings....four required at the rear.
