    The MII was a well-designed IFS if you built it with the strut rod that is was designed to use, but some of the fellows who were apparently more interested in making a buck than they were turning out well-designed systems, decided to eliminate the rod and make up their own lower arm designs. In my opinion, that's where the trouble started. In most of the systems I have seen, there is insufficient support front to rear because of the narrow attachment of the lower arm to the crossmember/frame. And again, in my opinion, if you lack a degree in mechanical engineering, you have no business building independent front suspension systems. Used like the factory engineers designed it, there should be no problems.
