Has anyone built there own adjustable strut rods? I want a set but can't fork out $200. Let's see what you guys have done. Thanks
What in the world do you need those for?
Oh,as a 6 year veteran in the alignment world, I understand perfectly what a guy can do with an adjustable strut rod.I also understand that yanking the LCA forward puts a huge strain on the inner bushing.I also know that the Moog offsets can get upwards of 3.5 degrees caster @ -.5* camber, with the stock rods. I also know that the caster changes as the LCA moves up and down.And that 3.5 is plenty.
-What I dont know is why a fella wants to dick with strut rods who cant afford them in the first place.
-So racerdude; What say you? What are you thinking?Whats the plan,man? Gimme a Clue,Stu.Set me straight,Mate.......
The main reason I want adjustable strut rods is for the benefit of a heim joint on one end, that way the arc of the strut rod and the arc of the LCA will no longer bind up. Also I want adjustable strut rods so I can position the LCA in a place with little tension on it so it will pivot on the shaft more like it is supposed to and also, without the bushings there will be much less fore and aft movement of the LCA on the pivot shaft, hopefully increasing life of LCA bushings and making it more of a precision piece of engineering.
