Or do some just want to use the "Trick of the Week" introduced to Stock class by a few who have a known history of stretching the rules. Sorry a few spent money for the wrong parts. Maybe they should have checked to see if the part was legal for Stock before laying down their hard earned cash.

Jason,
Do you race or own a stock or super stock car?
I'm thinking you don't. I'm also thinking you don't have a rule book so let me copy and paste the rules for the front suspension for Stock.
SUSPENSION, Front
Must retain complete stock front suspension system as produced by manufacturer for body used, aftermarket tie rods with Heim joints permitted. Lift kits/travel limiters prohibited. Sway bar optional. See General Regulations 3:4.
I read that as system meaning the same as the factory design. In other words if it came factory with double A arms then you can't redesign it and install struts for example; same as if you have a brake strut rod car you can't change it over to run double A arms etc... I think you get my point. The break strut rods that have been changed to where the rod doesn't go through the original mount I can understand their view on but when you just replace a rubber bushing with a bearing on the same factory brake strut rod you still have the factory system as produced. With your theory we shouldn't be allowed to run solid motor mount. Ya get what I'm saying here?
