Suspension Notice for S/SS by NHRA

I talked to the tech dept about this subject. They said the clarification applies to cars that have had the front bushings on the adjustable strut rods replaced with heim joints or ball type joints. Cars that use true lower control A-arms are not affected because they do not use a strut rod.

This all started with a complaint to the tech dept about a SS/AH car. When researched, several of the cars were found to have modified the front suspension strut rods.

Early Novas, early Mustangs, Thunderbolts, Mopars, and any other car with a lower control arm that incorporates a single bushing attaching it to the frame also fall into this category. If your Stock or S/S car has a strut rod and it has been modified, then it needs to be changed back to the stock type bushing set up.
