What's the best setup for a street car?
Tarret bronze/urethane? (Sounds like a good idea, but never heard from anyone running them) Needle Bearings? ( I worry about rust and maintenance issues) Stock with 40K on them? (Has a low "trick" factor, but probably works good) Delrin/urethane (squeeky........don't want them) Ditto for rear trailing arm bushings???? |

I don't think that the "bound" pivot will act as a spring. I think that it will act as inconsistant damper in both directions instead, slowing the response of the spring. Regardless, you are right. It will make it harder to fine tune your suspension. I want needle bearings for my car, but all the local guys want me to make them delrin assemblies for their cars for the reason I mentioned. I couldn't imagine the load variations to affect such a hefty assembly. But it is good to discuss it. At least in my mind.
HEY. And congrats on thinking things through to the "fine tune" stage in your car. Your logic is correct. |
