I'm keep going back and forth with the strut rod bushings and even the adjustable strut rods that have solid bushings like pst adjustable strut rods.
I am happy with the rest of the bushings I have picked out for the front suspension. I'm getting FFI upper control arms with poly bushings, and the lower control arms will be MOOG rubber. I have read a lot of storys about the poly ones falling out of the socket, so I'm just going to stick with the rubber ones on the LCA. I don't think there is that big of a performance advantage with just the LCA bushing either way poly or rubber.
I know I need adjustable strut rods to take out any binding there might be cycling the lower control arm. I was going to go with PST adjustable strut rod but I'm not sold on the solid mount yet. Then I was going to go with FFI adjustable strut rod and use poly bushings, then I had seen some of those bushing fall apart.
A member on here posted a video of his front suspension while driving around. Its a good video for seeing how the suspension moves. You can see the strut rod pivoting around the strut rod bushing as the suspension cycles. The only time that the strut rod actually moves back is under braking. It never moved forward or back under acceleration. So the only time that the settings would change would be under braking and that would probably just change the toe-out a couple of fractions of an inch.
I like how the PST adjustable strut rods are designed the heim joint would take care of pivoting that the rubber bushing would normally do. But I think the solid mount on the PST would beat out where it attaches to the K-member over time. So could we change out the solid mount and use PST poly strut rod bushings there? This would have the advantage being stiffer than rubber and then the rod wouldn't be pivoting on the poly bushing?
