BTW, I failed to see the disclaimer where just racers that actually drive are the only people allowed to post on this website. There are others interested in seeing Stock and S/S survive without actually strapping themselves in the drivers seat. They are the ones who build the engines, ones who build the chassis, ones who own the racecar, ones who own the tow rig, ones who sit in the stands, ones who tech the cars, ones who put on the fire safety equipment, ones who work the starting line, ones who sponsor the racing, and ones who teardown the engine when the driver does not know which end of the wrench to hold. That's right, there are a lot more people interested in seeing Stock and S/S continue to survive than you ever thought possible.

There are always buffoons like you that open their mouth to make comments on areas they do not know about! Are you a stakeholder on this matter?
First, in addition to control deflection at high speeds and during braking, they must also rotate. Nevertheless, it is a no win situation. If a racer uses an OEM style bushing, they are too soft for racing; if you use a bushing with higher Durometer numbers or stiffer, then it limits the rotation of the bar and creates other issues including damage to the strut.
As for NHRA's statement such as
"any car will wander/hunt during hard braking with a narrow front tire"; that is a whole bunch of baloney and shows their lack of knowledge of the dynamics regarding the front suspension of a drag race car.
