Ernie - Just for the heck of it, double check the four special Jaguar tapered bolts (two on each side) which attach the lower control arm inner end support/pivot brackets to the Salisbury (or Dana) rear end unit cast iron housing. On my Unique Motorcars Cobra, these bolts broke on the left side which was not immediately obvious without inspection because the forked inner ends of the lower control arms are tied together left side to right side with steel straps running between the left and right lower control arm inner end pivot rods, one strap runs in front of and one behind behind the rear end unit. These straps together give partial support and prevent the lower control arm from completely falling away (which would allow a suspension collapse). The lower control arm inner end swings down about an inch and a half giving a noticeable negative camber to the tire/wheel on the failed side but the car remains driveable but with somewhat squirrely handling (i.e. limp in mode). Unique Motorcars sells a bolt on 1/8" thick steel plate which rides below the rear end unit (has drain access hole) which further ties the left and right side lower control arm inner end attaching brackets together with 4 bolts on either side using existing downward facing threaded holes on the left and right side lower control arm inner end attaching brackets. Good luck with the Jag IRS handling issue. - DCX35
