Watts Link suspension idears

[mick taylor]

I am wondering about the watts link setup on the rear of the falcons, now I think that they were from XE to ED.

Now Dick Johnson did a mod on this setup, because as I understand that he did not like the way it handled driven hard like.
So what's going on ?
I remember seeing the XE Falcons lose it coming through fast corners back in the day and people complaining that she just came out on them, now the roads were not smooth and you had to get 2 wheels off in the dirt if another car came the other way was the norm.

So does anyone have a handle on this as to why, or did the XF or EA change in anyway.

People put hard bushes in them, maybe doing a disservice as what it comes across to me is that's such is better with soft bushes.

It looks to me that Dick was trying to lessen a influence in some way as to such upsetting the apple cart.

I believe dicky boy had a good reason to set it up the way that he did.

And if we all know the facts someone may do the tweak and have a lot safer car. especially with the power that some people have nowadays it would pay too look into such.
