Re: Make it handle

How about polly bushings for shocks? are they a worthwhile upgrade or an upgrade at all?

Re: Make it handle

I asked this question earlier and got no responce so I will ask again.

Inclination between the lower and the upper ball joint in the spindle. Is this needed, what is it used for and where is a good range to be in if it is needed?

Shocks only work when the shaft moves. So, anything that soaks up the transfer of suspension movement from the shock shaft is bad. shocks are one of the components that when it comes to performance, I'd go straight to bearing mount. But, urathane bushings are a big + from stock rubber.
