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???? |

Mike, I'm going to PM you about spare parts... I have something to add to this thread. I (2 weeks ago) disassembled my mueller front bearings for inspection and grease re-packing. This was after 1 season of use and that included I think 17 track days. We had used white grease to pack them, and RTV to seal the ends like a dust cap. So after disassembly, washing and visual inspection I'm happy to say there is NO VISIBLE wear. They were still clean and looking good. I expect that annual re-packing will be good preventative maintence. Plus during reassembly they are randomly put back into a different position and load surface, the annual inspection should reduce wear also. only 1 year instead of 2, but I'm happy to report positive results! brant |
