Does anyone feel like addressing the issue of only one control arm on the rear suspension with the Jag-based IRS here? To me, it seems like a cause for concern but apparently many people are OK with using the axle as the upper control arm.

I believe the original cars had upper and lower arms and a couple of the replicas have upper and lower arms but with the exception of the Kirkham cars, I think they're based on the Ford IRS. ERA's optional rear suspension may also have upper and lower arms; I can't recall.

Aren't you guys afraid of losing a U-joint and having the wheel flop up under the car? Or isn't this a real problem?

I don't mean to denigrate anyone's engineering or choice of cars here; I just thought this might be a place to ask for opinions on this issue.

Thanks,

Lowell
