Solid heim-joint lca's and spool ???
 
Im thinking about switching to the solid heim-jointed lca's more for the track and to delete any deflection that i may have with my lca's with the prothane bushings im running now, my question is , is it hard on the car to run the solid ones with a spool, will it tear anything up??? Im running a 9 inch w. 4:56 gears and a full spool, the car is driven on the street also, and i am aware of the extra noise i will get from them, just let me know fellas

No it will not hurt any of the suspension it's just hard on the axles......

Im just wandering if it will cause the mounting holes on the front and rear for the lcas to whauler out or even bend and break

As long as all of the bolts are tight it will not be an issue......

I broke the welds on the driver's side relocation bracket on my moser 9" within a few days of driving with the spool, so yea it puts some stress on everything when you turn. I wouldn't worry about it though, mine was kind of a fluke thing I guess since I've never heard of anyone else having this problem. I wouldn't worry about axle stress either, however, I'd worry about your axle bearings.

does running drag radials help with a spool. I have heard that from other people. Dont know if it helps. I also am running a spool and dont know if I like it yet. But Im not on dr either

Certainly doesn't sound like a very street-friendly setup to me.
