Strut Rod Help Please

I couldn't read all that crap.
Back in the 60's we used, modified, fabricated everything, experimented, learned.
All my suspension is loosy, Goosy, to the point of flop .
You do know I built racecars ?
Tested geometries, roll center, long before the interweb.
Theory all you want, we did what was nec, with what knowledge/resources were available, and got results, more knowledge, better results.
Championship last 2 yrs, track records as well.
How long since you actually built a car ?
Keep it brief, not another tome .
Got some pretty nice hardware to prove it .
Preach on, - thump your chest - others will listen, you say good stuff.
I consider you one of the "Oracles" here, - don't go stupid on me now !

There's a difference between "thumping your chest" and over-explaining things in an effort to cover all the important details under the assumption that some people reading may not already know all this stuff.

A person can spend a bunch of time and effort trying different things to figure out what does and doesn't work but they can also reduce that time and effort a huge amount by reading stuff written by people who have already been there, done that.

Neither of you guys are wrong or better/worse, just don't get all caught up in thinking anybody who writes a lot is a snooty know-it-all.
