Here’s the Ultra Sport rear suspension. Yeah, we know, it’s hard to figure out. We’ve included the arrows to illustrate what each bar does in a turn. The upper crossmember/mount is bolted to the body, so when the car turns right, the body and mount dip down on the left. That forces the bars and bellcranks to rotate as shown here. The long diagonal bar (called the control tube) then exerts force on the right side coil-over, which pushes down on the right-hand side of the differential, planting the inside tire. Study it for awhile and it’ll come to you.
