I was there when it was fine to use the stuff in question, and I was there when they didnt like what they saw on a mopar this past July.

What I do know, is on a Ford, the way the replacement parts work, it does not allow the lower control arms to flex and will keep them in check, without damaging the frame horns of the suspension after an over violent wheelstand, repetitive wheelstands, or any braking. There is absolutely NO performance advantage to this stuff. It makes the car more stable at speed, and controlable when the car lands the front end. Period.
My dog can hunt wherever and whenever I want it to!!!!!!!

So it is in writing that this modification to Stock frontend suspension parts was okayed 10 years ago? Not a problem. I'm sure showing that letter to the tech dept will put an end to all the controversy. Thanks for letting everyone know that you have the answer.
