Correct me if I'm wrong, but that will not float per-see. Once the axle nut is torqued the axle shaft will become more or less rigid from the bearing into the housing, so very little camber or toe would be allowed. Unless the other end of the axle shaft has a radius to the splines.

I thought "float" referred to whether the hub is retained independantly of the axle. In Mark's case, if the axle breaks, the hub/wheel/tire stay with the car, which is a "full floater". With a stockish 9" arrangement, if the axle breaks, the axle could leave the housing, taking the wheel/hub with it. 9" is a bad example, 10/12 bolt would be a better illustration. The second case would be a "semi-floater".

I'm sure I'm missing something...

Not in the near future. I have helped do the development work on a couple IRS set ups at work. There is a lot of development to get one to work correctly.

I'm happy on how the DSE 4 link works.

I was running a stock LS9 clutch. I switched to a Lingenfelter LS9 clutch with a higher clamp load. I had an issue with the adjustment and the pick-up point. The clutch was draggingwhen thepeddelwas fully pushed in. Seems like I had air in the system because it was good when I unloaded it last night. Going back though the set up to verify the stack-up.
