broken strut rod bushing
« on: June 05, 2016 - 11:36:28 AM »
I had plans to go to do another autocross race today.  I did an inspection last night and found the drivers side front of the k-frame strut rod bushing is broken!!  It is only half the thickness of the other side and there is a gap between the k-frame and the bushing.  I assume the strut rod is moving.  I did notice that when I apply my brakes very hard that the car wanted to pull to the left, and when I let off, it would go neutral steering again.  I have the XV adjustable strut rod in there now that is based off the original style with rubber bushings.  That is coming off and I will be ordering and installing the Hotchkiss adjustable strut rods with no bushing and a heim joint.  GRRRR!!  Id rather be racing!!!   :swear: :stomp: :pullinghair: :faint:
