chassis re-enforcement v.101



In most turns one side will have more force put on it than the other side.
This is why Nascars like to run such crazy camber and why Sprint cars run
larger wheels on the outside also why the inside front tire comes off the
ground on tight turns (racing mostly), there is almost no force on this
assy.  Hooking them together helps to stabilize the one that has the most
force on it when cornering.  If going in a straight line, I could see how it
would keep the two strut assys together at the top as the front of the car
wants to rise (even on fwd cars).  This could help a bunch of things but the
first that come to mind are strength to keep from breaking things and
traction to keep the camber right.

If the strut towers are weak, how does bracing one against the other
accomplish much?  Seems like all that would do is force the two towers to
simply move in unison rather than independently?
