Rear axle rubber bump stops

[Bob Culver]

In conventional cars, having near all the roll resistance provided by the rear is not considered conducive to good handling (ie original VW) but with the high frame Sevens esp the rear wheel steer effects are so overwhelming that anything which stiffens the rear seems to assist handling. At the modest cornering speeds possible, tyre loading effects are very secondary except in the wet or on metal. Rear axle damping is certainly inadeqaute on the heavier RP. On corrugations the wheels seem to lose effective contact.
