It did feel slightly smoother if I hit a bump in a corner. So, I started looking for sweeping corners with a bump in them. Then I put the standard panhard bar back in, and hit the same bumps, and it was a little smoother with the torque arm rod. So, I'm ready to go testing tues night. We'll see what happens.
I've seen those TAR's in my local roundy-round catalog & always wondered how they would fare in a street environment. But, I figured the solid/fixed dimension would be better suited & that the 'give' (if any) might actually make the 'bump in a corner' situation worse. It will be interesting to see the results.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
