A while back there was some discussion about exactly what a jacking bolt was, besides something that many teams get penaties for improper ones.
While looking for something else I found a simple rendering of the rear suspension system that WC cars use.
The items # 1 & 2 are the springs, with the jacking bolts and pads located on top. Turning the bolts compresses or decompresses the springs.
The yellow bar is the track bar, it is adjusted up and down on one end by turning the bolt item #5.
The blue bars are the trailing arms. The offset bolts which JJ and team were penalized for would be located at the unattached end in this picture. This end would be attached to the car's chassis in use.
The rear axle assy is red.
