Had no idea the suspension moved so much. Also loved the tin knocking sound at the very end. Things falling off? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Thirdly this is a great diagnostic tool looks like. Movies of moving parts.

This is why the bushing replacements like McMark's needle bushings and the Elephant Bushings make such a dramatic difference. When there is no stiction in the suspension the trailing arms and A arms move freely allowing good shocks to do a good job. This allows you to go much stiffer with the torsion bars and rear springs without feeling like you're riding on rails.

This is a really good diagnostic tool Mark. Between your GoPro and my two GoPro's we should be able to shoot some footage... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Needle bearing mounting for the trailing arms does make a big difference. I was surprised but you can feel it right away and the handling was substantially improved.
