Default Re: Suspension Notice for S/SS by NHRA

The NCIS (National Cajun Investigative Service) has been on the job. Seems the issues here are twofold. One is the spherical bearing on the end of the strut rods instead of the old rubber bushing. Is it worth something, safer, both maybe. I think we can all agree it's safer. What is on your car? The other issue is the heim joint on the end of the strut rod instead of the aforementioned old bushing. I guess both do the same thing. Seems one was noticed in Chicago (spherical) and the other was on a couple SS/AH cars somewhere. Something to do with the width of the frame members (B instead of A body). Maybe yall with an interest in this could email me jefft@southlanddodge.com and we could see just what problems might be addressed at the same time. I think we need an answer before next season, and the SRAC is basically over for this year and election for members is on the horizon. And it's the Holiday Season. I think this affects old and new cars depending on model. I have some of each. Interest? Send me what you think. Pictures welcome. Racing season is closer than I like and nobody needs to get pitched because of some bushing.
