New rear stress bar

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

Well it is true that my strut towers are exactly where they should be, but 
here it is more likley to be mice hacking at things than elves. But that's 
what the Ford is for, they like it better than the Roccos, big black 
mousebait.
I gotta confess, I have a bar or two on mine in case the elves need a 
holiday, and in my cars the elves are also warding off evil spirits, bad 
juju or foul moods...(now if I could just get them to deal with mechanical 
ineptitude)
