looking for strut rods
« on: November 04, 2011 - 11:26:25 AM »
I tore the threads off my originals.  I have seen the adjustable ones from hotchkis and pst but seem so expensive anyone know where else to get these.

I believe the only way to get factory ones is to find a set of used ones.  Also tough to find a straight set. :dunno:

Mancini Racing has strut rods that look almost stock.  $116 for the pair.

Last year I called a few salvage yards, they wanted $120 each.
Luckily, I have a freind that had an extra stock strut.  Cost was lunch, about $15.  He eats a lot :bigsmile:

I went wih the Firm Feel strut rods to square up my lower control arms, the mopar and aftermarket strut rod bushings are thicker then stock and if needed they can be used to pull in a lil more caster. But not to much as u might bind the lower control arm bushing.
