Harsh ride!

Hmmm.... I think I would have to call BS on that Hachiroku link. As can
be seen from the diagram, any downward force on the rear axle caused
by the trailing links, is conteracted by an upward force on the car body.
So the weight applied to the rear axle thru the springs (which is the
primary force pressing the wheels onto the road) remains about the same.

Not saying that there might not be some momentary advantage due to
inertia, before the body lifted, but I don't see that doing much when
accelerating out of a third gear corner.

I would think that the so called "weight transfer" by the rear axle trying to
drive under the vehicles centre of gravity would be more helpful to traction.
But I'm not a suspension engineer, and can't be bothered researching the
correct answer, so shoot me down...

PS: Check your poly bushes have not started breaking down. They can
start to break up and come loose after a bit of use. Loose bushes will
give you axle tramp.
