Off Panhard bar

[H. J. Zivnak]

Greg,

I didn't realize that Alfa was such a warm memory. I really didn't mean to
insult it!
The responses to Shannen's question looked to me to be missing the dynamics
of the situation. The point being that it's prolly the chassis that moves in
response to changes in the Panhard rather than the axle, and it's not likely
to effect handling, or be felt for that matter. However, get into a
situation where you have roll oversteer and that's another story.

I guess that if I did ASCII more often I'd prolly get better at it.

Maybe I'd better look at my heel and see if there are any instructions down
there ;<)
