David, that's the way trailing arms should work.

The RMC pivots under your butt hence moving in an arc changes the static length.

You know, if a manufacturer wanted to produce the perfect chassis they'd lock us all in a room, feed us heaps of crownies, give us a mountain of scribble paper and let us do our thing.

The more I hear about the G-force the more impressed I become.

My diff was a pain to get square. The top mount plate had moved during the welding process and using the tapered head jag bolts kept pulling the diff center out of square. Drilling the holes in the plate and using normal bolts with hardened washers fixed the problem.

Scotties modification is to machine the lower arm so it accepts a concentric bush/nut . The bush has a hex so when turned changes the toe. That bush/nut is then locked in place when the normal nut is tightened.

I'll send you a pic

Cheers
