Anyone running adjustable strut rods? If so how do you like them . I am thinking about putting them on my 66 dart . Any thoughts?

Thank you

Will

So it is my understanding that you want to get rid of the bushing all together? Will this be ok on the street? I am not worried about spending the $200.00 from Reilly Motorsports

I got from Bill's post that he has many of these kits on the street. Bill is one of the few front end guys that can actually tell you what his pieces do and why. :shock:

I ran a set on my swinger and had no troubles for the 5-10kmi I drove the car. The only change I made was adding a set of heim joint seals. I never had any poly LCA bushing walk when using them either. :wink:
Bill is a great guy to deal with, too.

No bushings, but they are spherical bearings. Nice setup. Sam Powell also has some miles on a set on his Dart. I have Bill's on my Project V racecar.
