Suspension geometry

Anyone know the geometry of the new mustang live axle? Supposedly it handles better than the slightly older Cobra IRS. Wonder if it's possible to adapt our axles to a similar geometry rather than making an IRS subframe.

The Mustang has a 3-link rear...nothing new or exciting.

Somebody already did that for the first gen.

Works great. No more snap oversteer.

It is not very easy to take pictures of.

No matter how you look at it you can't get the whole story with the body of the car opaque as it is.

This is a shot from a cardomain page for a car that was just on e-bay.

Taken from the right rear corner or the car, only shows one of the end of the Panhard. The tri-link is above the axle and the driveshaft up in the tunnel.
