Does this same thought apply to say caster/camber plates?

What about modified spindles to allow aftermarket brakes to be used?

I don't believe you can replace the strut rod rubbers on early Chevy II's with Heim joints, can you?
I think you can now in S/S ,because you're racing against the GT FWD conversions.

That would be a safety item one could argue "for" , too.

Does anybody sell a complete "bump steer kit" for A-body Mopars for Super Stock?

Mark, The Ford guys can not do anything to their strut rods in Stock, ever see one let go ? not pretty,

On the newer cars, the placement height of the rack is very important to be able to achieve acceptable geometery. With that said, I've seen plenty of spacers and heims on some very fast and winning stockers. Is it legal? Who knows?

So are spacers and heim joints legal in division 7? or do you just heat and bend to get the correct bump steer? got to what wonder which one is safer?
