suspension ?- rear lower stress bar?

[amalventano1@comcast.net (Allyn)]

hrm, that will actually reinforce the rear arms, making them harder to bend inwards (but i cant
imagine when this could possibly happen, being as the stub axle bends before that bar does). just
reduces flex perhaps? a 'k' like that wouldnt do as much for anti-sway as the stock bar shape
could... hrmmm.
