Logically thinking,it gives a certain amount of trailing arm 'control' and stiffness.Also do you guys think that it controls the wheel camber to a certain degree?Meaning if it's a brand new dogbone,will there will be a certain amount of resistance against -ve camber?Thoughts?
What happens when they are worn?
How can you tell if they are worn? When my rear wheels are of the ground, it looks as if the dog bones are deformed or slightly twisted. Hard to describe.
