Re: Aftermarket strut rods
My car uses strut rods, in fact the same as the Mustang. While I have never raced it in Stock class I would like to tell you what happens when on the street.
About 8 years ago while driving my car on the Interstate with my wife, I unintentionally hit a pretty serious bump and broke my right strut rod. I had no idea at the time just what it was but at 65 the steering wheel was acting real funny. The REAL problem was when I tried to brake. Let me tell you, I do not wish to do that ever again. The wheel went to jumping and hitting all of the inner fender and the steering wheel was all that I could handle. I finally managed to get to the shoulder and had it towed home. I attributed it to age and got a new one. But if there is an even better option, within the rules, I will gladly look at it.
