Check for this next time you are underneath you motor !

Appreciate the input JT.Whats its real function then John? Would you recommend keeping it in place on a road car? Also, Shimmy is bound to ask how heavy it is so that he can recalculate all his lap times if he takes his off !

It stiffens the car, keeps the diff and mounting tied into the car.

Its a strut brace as such.

I would only remove if you have a cage welded into the diff carrier, if just a bolt in cage I'd keep it.

Technically its a diff support, keep them on the road cars but not needed on race cars if cage has diff support (most do).

Another thing to too look at when underneath. Getting her on the ramps soon as have nasty little knock from the front when going v slowly just getting on or off throttle with a bit of steering on.
