Does anyone have any accurate information on just how much the rear springs 
on a 1/4 elliptic  will allow the axle to move side-to-side on hard 
cornering? It seems there must be a lot of force on the front attach bolts on 
this setup. What I'm really concerned with is not so much the springs 
themselves , but the attach points in the sheet metal. One would think they 
would be easy to tear out with today's sticky tires. Anyone have any 
experience with this high stress point? It would seem a panhard rod would be 
needed the time.             Bob Chamberlain
