Post Re: Suspension Notice for S/SS by NHRA

A few companies make replacement polyurethane bushings for the strut rods which are stiffer and more durable than OEM rubber.....and legal.

If it is enforced like the A Body suspension rule ( AKA WEBIE SUSPENSION ) in a couple of months it will be all forgotten about.

I emailed Div II tech and asked if the "front suspension" included the tie rod ends and steering components. I know lots of people replace ends with Heims to aid in alignment and bump steer. And fab draglinks. Awaiting a response.

Jeff, not calling you dumb, but you do try and play that way sometimes to stir the pot.

First gen Chevy II's have needed this mod. for atleast 40 years now..
I figured it was legal now..with all the GT FWD conversions out there...
I guess safety is a not a big concern this week...They used it up last week on the Stocker seats.
Remember...You need a roll bar in 12.85 Stockers ,,,for safety!

On my 62 Tempest... (not a Class car) it was cheaper to fix the struts this way, than to buy the old replacement bushings.

Phil, It was a street car...3" exhaust all the way back.
The back part was made to slip off , leaving the standard long collector in place.

Were folks using them on the struts? I don't think they could go on the control arms. I know they ok on the steering.

Jeff, you can always remove the front stock suspension and put one of these units in...just like the old a/fx b/fx c/fx cars from the 60's.
