[Mgs] Locating my rear end

[PaulHunt73]

It looks like those just reduce axle rotation under hard acceleration, 
rather than improve fore and aft or lateral location.  As such they would 
need a closing plate on the brackets on the left, which would go round the 
spring (the other end replacing the existing bottom plate that the damper 
attaches to).  As the leaves do move relative to one another as the spring 
compresses and expands the bracket would need to allow that to take place. 
Although given the forces and distances involved I'd say there wasn't much 
chance of stopping it, although it might stiffen the springs a fraction.
