Zero roll control suspension is kind of self explainatory.
There is no roll control on the rear end of the car. The rear wheels are sprung agains one another but not agains the chassis.
All lateral roll control comes from the front suspension and is subject to suspension and chassis stiffness.
if you jack the car and lift one rear wheel, the other rear wheel will simply doop down and vice versa.
Adding a shock on each side actually introduces lateral roll control so the easiest method to arrive at true zero roll control is to use a single shock.
2 shocks can be utillised with pushrods and the top shock mount is a pivoting bar. Pain in the arse to fabricate and ends up with the shocks running along the top of the transmission. This is why I went the single shock road.
Check this out, its a true zero roll control suspension setup with no lateral (roll) control:
There must have some form of droop limiting via shocks, straps or a cable.
In this care, the shock itself can limit droop but I have fitted an adjustable cable between the shock mount points (not in this pix).
You can use individual droop straps attached either side but they introduce lateral control when the inside strap goes tight as the inside wheel drops.
Horses for courses.
