All I know is that the body mount for the lower links were lowered in '84, what did that do to make it worse?

....You know, you're right. I'm sorting out how the angular changes in the lower links would affect the axle, and it SHOULD reduce the amount of discrepancy.

Very, very hmm. So why are the Series 3s so much more prone to tearing the links off?
