Your first picture showed it. It’s tied from the top of the birdcage to a tab on the chassis at about a 45 degree angle. I don’t see it in the second picture. There’s no spring associated with it (coilover). I assume what it’s doing is dampening the lateral load that the ladder controls when you slam into the cushion. The chassis is still going to move sideways until all the slack is out of the ladder, but dampening it slows that down for a split second. And since it’s mounted at that angle, it splits the dampening in half, so it’s an even more slight adjustment than you might think. Tying it to the top of the birdcage instead of the side probably also has an affect. Creates leverage to plant the RR due to the car’s lateral momentum?
Drinan or Dicely could explain it.
