The panhard bracket was inproperly installed. It was not welded to the frame. That is not a DSE failure.

It was in one of the reports, but unknown in the other. So were the 4 link brackets referenced in this thread.

The point is that there isn't a lot to weld to in the rear of an f-body, which is a problem of any of the contemporary rear suspensions. It is essential to keep an eye on suspension links of ANY vehicle used in a racing application.

These cars were not structurally capable of harnessing 450hp and 8" wide tires in the trans-am series 40+ years ago. Tires 335 wide and 600-700hp can break lots of parts.
