Have you ever had a look at the swing axle on one of these? A Lancia 
specialist I went to last year had one up on the ramp, and the design is 
HORRIBLE! The axles don't actually even appear to have individual inner 
pivots, but one of them is pivoted from the other, so it isn't even 
symmetrical.

I have never seen anything so odd-looking! How did Nader miss *that*?
