Suspension Notice for S/SS by NHRA

I read this as only pertaining to replacing strut rod donut bushings with heims.
I've worked on and aligned many AMC's Fords,Mopars And GM's with heims replacing the bushing and see no benefit other than safety .[ OK mabe a little header clearance ]
Mabe NHRA should ask Bob Bender how his car handled at the top end when it split a rubber strut bushing out after the launch. ,yes that tank has a strut rod front suspension.
Alowing you to use a heim to replace a tie rod end ,but not allowing their use on a strut rod is foolish , at least in Super Stock.
This really needs to be addressed by the S/SS racer reps as soon as possible.
