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

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
