I have te trailing arm bushings. Better yes but still more to be desired.

The beam is so static, it is rather difficult to gain a marked improvement.

Not when your beam to car attachment point is flexible and binds a lot.

I wonder if there is a drop in alternative for this. Might not be adjustable, but better then wheelbarrow suspension (like Mike K said in his article).

The beam at its axle ends is very static.

Good luck in your adventures, Vadim. Only you can truly make a difference!

Just looked at the parts list on the B15, looks like it already has rear bushings. The car is not running so I can't test it out yet. I don't know if it will be enough for autocross though. My P11 was definitely a fat dog that loves to dog leg while autocrossing.

Something that this community, has had a hard time doing in the past and really hurts progress since this community will have less and less cars, the people must progress forward.

The time is now to share your knowledge with others in the community. Holding stuff a secret is great if we were professional race car teams but we are not.

Amen to that! I want to add so much more to this but I will stop myself short of that.

Let's talk beam and how we can improve it!

Not surprising. When Psushoe had it, it was an autox beast. At the time, it had to be one of the fastest B series autox cars in the country.



All this welding I see in the pictures, you might as well weld in a B13 rear end. Light bulb goes on.

Nice that's good to know. I'll probably try racing it as is first, but the way my P11 is I got a feeling that something needs to be done.

That thought has definitely crossed my mind
