ive got a very tricky situation. i have a front wheel drive car and the rear axles arn't independant they are linked with the biggest, uglyist, unearodynamic beam ever. however i am sort of out of ideas how to improve it. ive made a sketch best describing it. i do not know how to mount anything to the plastic gas tank that will hold. it is very unevenly shaped and the brackets protrude quite a bit. i also dont know how much the axle moves up and down. i want to put a deflector on the axle but there is barely an inch between it and the axle if the suspension moves up all the way. anyone have some links to similar axle cover ups or deflectors will be greatly appriciated.
