- Most cars with sprung rears have one or both of these problems . (1) Too much rear roll stiffness (to overcome the effects of drive shaft torque) or (2) unequal rear wheel loading under acceleration

- If a torque-tube equippped car also uses a solid rear axle, the axle bump & rebound twist is usually taken up by the motor mounts. Obviously only a limited axle travel is possible. Yes, IRS is the u
