"G" Body suspention tips ?

Todd Geisler · 08-01-2009, 08:06 PM

Spherical housing bushings from either TRZ Motorsports or Wolfe Racecraft allow for the mis-alignment of the upper ear angles without binding suspension movement. That said, I've not looked at Stock rules to know if they are legal or not.

Thanks

Craig, I had my set shipped to the parcel depot in Sumas, Washington and went to pick them up across the line. That way shipping cost and time are cheaper and faster. And you pay no brokerage fees. They came very quickly, less than a week to Sumas. It is pretty nice stuff and priced well compared to the same stuff from other companies. Dave

Craig, if you look at the ones from the link, they have the angle built in to adapt the A-body housing to the G-body chassis. He also sells the regular ones that are straight, those are the ones I have as my housing is custom made to be the proper ear locations for the G-body. I use a set of four from him, the non-adjustable lower ones are legal. Look around the rest of his site, his comunication during the transaction was good too.Dave

Thanks Dave, I ordered his 12 bolt upper arms today, he is a real nice guy to deal with.

I have been using the the 8.5 ten bolt in my Grand National. I put Moser 30 spline axles, Eaton posi and c-clip eliminators. Using the stock 3.42 ring and pinoin and it has held up to countless 25 lbs of boost trans brake leaves and it has gone 9.64 @ 140.11...
