Adjustable strut rods post-install thoughts
I put 15 x 7 wheels on the Duster from my 71 Roadrunner to put it away this year took it for a ride and I have no tire clearance issues at all.
I had very low mileage tight and straight Lower control arms when making these struts. With rubber stops in place and keeping the 1 inch space. The hymn joints can be adjusted so the bolt just slides in at this position. . As you can see we used a complete front clip kept to mock Headers and other fabrication of parts to do all measuring. There is no guess work . The free travel without binding rubber promotes weight transfer quicker.
The main reason for getting rid of the rubber is to prevent the wheels from being pushed back while foot braking the car. Preventing this movement allows for deep stage with less chance of turning on the red when the front tires lunge forward from the rubber band effect. We only took this advice from Ray because he has more experience than any one I know with SS cars. we run the car at 1/4 inch off the stops and upper arm stops to keep travel at 1 inch .
