Question. What besides the upper attach points is carrying lateral loading? If just those four points, you have nothing taking lateral or even diaginal loads. All those lower links is doing is supporting linear loads from acceleration or braking.

Hey Greg...I was visiting Speedway last week. Look what was sitting in the lobby? If/when you're done w this one I bet they can build you a bullet proof rear end!
But this rear end has been a nightmare from the get go. First it was SAR overfilling it and taping it for a vent in the wrong place... then Tim was finally able to make the vent work (went to 1/2" tubing) so I didn't have gear lube puking out of it... Then the first set of stub axles... then the second set and now the cracked housing.
Now yesterday when I was under there I noticed that almost every weld seam in the polished SS exhaust has a hairline fracture. So that will have to be a complete re-do now as well.
When I'm at Thunderhill at the end of the month - I'll swing by Brizios and get a plan worked up = and drop it off in October. It will get a completely different rear end and an exhaust system with some V bands - and some flexibility built into it.
Wow the rear assembly is awesome even if it is a nightmare.
Now I want a 32 ford...
Funny John! If you're like me.... you've never seen a car you didn't want!
The rear is jewelry -- and everyone swear up and down this has never happened before -- and that it's a race rear end and blah blah blah -- but for me - it's been a headache since day one.
