Yup! Without the torque tube and radius rods (once you've converted to open drive), what do you reckon will hold that banjo rear end solid with the chassis, or in line with anything like STRAIGHT? You now essentially have a rear end attached to the vehicle by one spindly, transverse-mounted spring. You need to have realistic and thoughtfully-engineered reasons for changes, rather than just dreaming stuff that you "might do"!. DD
