connection points double ... one on each end and 2 side by side in the middle.
As far as ease of centering ... you should only have to do it once.
Would you even consider connecting 2 LCAs with a piece of all thread and using it in a loaded environment?
If you needed a shorter (or longer) pushrod in the motor, would you grind them down or lengthen them?
Same difference and probably less loading on the push rod ... around 250lbs of constant spring pressure vs 15000lbs (1/2 the car's weight at just under 1G) of loading, alternating between compression and stretch.

I had the Hotchkis adjustable and at that time, I knew of no other way to

The bar may well be "strong" enough to handle the loads placed on it, but IMO that just means that weight could have been saved with a more elegant design.

So what if you went with a design like Spohn where the adjustment in the bar is towards one end and not at the middle, but still having tubular ends with poly bushings? Is there a difference in this design? Just a thought...
