Bzzzt! Its a live rear end. It has nothing to do with the internal 
workings of it, it means that it is one solid 'bar' from wheel to wheel, 
not an independant suspension. When one wheel is up in the air, the other 
suffers, and NO MATTER what you do to that kind of a rear end, it will 
**NEVER** be as good as independant.
