  Although installing wide tires will increase your Spridget's horsepower, it 
also causes the rear axle to move around under cornering and acceleration 
forces. You'll see evidence of this in signs of tire rub on the inner edge of 
the fender when it seems that there is plenty of clearance. Mini Mania has 
designed and tested our own Sprite Axle Stabilizer Bar. By forming  triangle 
between the rear springs and the body, this lateral link eliminates side to 
side motion of the rear axle while reducing the tendency of the axle to roll 
under braking and acceleration. Detailed step by step instructions and diagrams 
are included to insure trouble-free installation. For Semi-elliptic Spridgets.
