Adjusting compliance

As I mentioned before, additional 3mm thickness rubber sims would be applied into the IRS construction of VW1302 Super Beetle to prevent too much lateral direction compliance, red marked positions as shown. This kind of trifle idea to set rubber sims here should be effective to attain natural steering reactive performance especially on the very initial beginning stage of the action. In another words, the displacement of the rear axle construction does much harm on the steering actions, makes it muddy, sticky and dull. Preventing this inconvenient displacement of the construction to lateral direction, some astringent, cool and comfortable steering reaction would be acquired. The rate of compliance and balance is the most nervous point and the most important proposition from the old days for the factory designing engineer. It must be the truth that the compliance application onto the points are the key to success to accomplish a good and comfortable ride of my Super Beetle.
JIS #70 hardness with 3mm thickness rubber material would be tested as an initial attempt for my interesting experiment.
