All hot rods are temperamental by nature and money pits, and I just wanted one less thing that would have to replace and spend money on more frequently. If you were making something that was purpose built to be fast, and you weren't constrained with our common respective tire sizes, etc, etc. then yeah I would say build a cambered rear axle...

Thanks for pulling me aside. What you are saying makes complete sense. It's hard enough to keep stuff from breaking as it is.
