Roll over problems???  I don't think anyone using the recommended tire
pressure ever had a roll over problem. I think all the straps were
aftermarket.  If I'm wrong I will be corrected quickly!!!

Thanks for all the replies thus far.  I'd really like some more solid data
on the "camber limiting straps" since that seems to be the source of the
idea that GM employed a "fix" in the early suspension to counter handling or
rollover issues.

So I'd really like to know when they became available, whether or not they
were used on all cars eventually or only those with the suspension upgrade
package, and exactly what they do.  At least one reply seemed to say that
these things prevented the axle from rebouding UP too far, I assume that is
a mistake or typo and that they limit the DROP of the axle... therefore
limiting the maximum camber change.

I'll also google the term and see what I can learn on wikipedia or whatever.


Thanks!
