Default Sam

Im getting a 12 bolr or 9" soon.

I would like to get a Panhard Bar with double rod ends and Lower control arms with relocation brackets also with double rod ends.

I already have spohn adjustable LCAs and a Hotchkiss adjustable PHB and both have Poly Bushings.

But you told me that the poly bushings will deflect. SO I am ready to upgrade.

I also need a torque arm that is lightweight but strong and beefy... I only have 370 at the crank now, but will be making 500 to the wheels in the near future, so I need parts that will hold up to that kind of torque..

Thanks. I will give you a call ASAP.

Are the ADJ LCAs poly/poly or poly/rod?
If they are poly/poly then you will have an issue with binding and deflection. If they are poly/rod, (poly side on the body, rod side on the axle), then binding and deflection should be non-issues since the rod end will allow the axle to articulate. Its still a compromise (but a more comfortable one) compared to rod/rod which gives the most range of motion and best control without any bind or deflection.

Well, ok.... I'm not sure what they thread is about, you PM'ed me the same thing the other day. We'll need to discuss options, primarily on the LCA's and TA.
