My Barracuda has now done 372 runs down the strip and 8000 street miles in the past 4 or 5 yrs it's been running.
It started with all new front end components.
It's since had a 2nd set of upper and lower control arm bushes and it's due for another set now.
It turns 11.9@111 with 1.62 60ft.
I realise it's just too many full extensions of the front end that's chewing the rubbers out but just wondering if there's anything else more suitable?
Not interested in going to Alterkation or the like.
Here's a vid to show you what it's constantly subjected to on the strip AND street.

Ditch the rubbers (That's what she said!!!) and get your self a set of Polygrahite bushing.
Sorry about that remark, I couldn't resist.

I like your evil sense of humour!!!:finga:

Where would I get them?

Couldn't find them listed at Summit.
Mancini's only list them for the rear.

Meanwhile I'll keep searching.
 
What about tubular upper arms with heim joints?
Anyone tried them?

Still need to do something for the lowers though.
