The rules define which rear diff is to be used (even the ratio) and that it must be a live axle. The rules also define the rear suspension mounting points with some tolerance for adjustability and design. I'm very much guessing here, but I assume that these definitions also dictate that a watts linkage system will be used??? In any case, the TV broadcast always refers to adjusting the "roll centre" whenever the team adjusts watts linkage pivot point in the pits.
