Just returned from a 50 mile test drive after installing my new strut rods............For years I have been trying to shake the cobwebs out of my steering, bushing here, idler arm there, alignment, alignment, alignment. Nothing would keep my ride from tracking every rut in the road. A few weeks back Bad69cat submitted a response to post regarding suspension upgrades with reference to Open Tracker Racing Products,....as I browsed through their parts...drooling, I came across adjustable strut rods..AHH-AHHH Angels singing! Now you may be thinking....they have putting adjustable strut rods in FLM products for years. Well for a more precise description, these are; solid mount, articulating strut rods. So, as the times demand.....I started my quest for a better price, when I stumbled across these: http://www.rosehillperformanceparts.com/Products_Page.htm#Adjustable Strut Rods
The pic does not do these parts justice,...clean welds and a nice powder coat finish.
So, what have I experienced after their install and test drive?
Straighter stopping, more level turning, less over-correction on sharp curves and a solid feel for the road,..more hands-on control. And what I did not experience is a rougher/clunky ride for the elimination of the strut rod bushings. Now I can tell, that my steering box needs a little adjustment. $261.00 to my door FedEx
