Chris, MM techs say that spherical on both sides on a street car is just too noisy and they advised me against it.

I took the advise and am 100% satisfied

I basically got the same answer when I talked to the tech

global west control arms are actually a better design aside from the weight jacking feature which most people have know idea how to use

From that link...

Panhard rods will not work with TBF-1's. The panhard rod will create suspension bind during travel.

What's up with that? I've never heard that before...

YOUR opinion is that they are an infirior part to your amazing mm lca's GREAT have a cookie. MY opinion, is that with the double adjustable, relocated lower's from FRPP they are the best for what I need and want. when you cut 1.6 shor times with a stock shocks springs axles and a clutch with 125k come talk to me.

As far as spherical... all that means is when its turn, its not in a perfect circle, so you get a larger amount of adjustment out of it. Chris, most people will get that type of a bushing or the uppers in the rear to adjust their pinion angle for traction and launches (for the drag racers) and for auto x guys do it im sure for the same but i dont play on that side of the fence.

Poly bushings only go Up and down.... If they twist, they cause bind.

Our axels dont move up and down, they twist when you turn so you need a spherical bushing on the Axel side to prevent bind. Look at my MM LCAs and you will notice a metal spherical bushing on the axel side...thats the key to a Good LCA.

not a fan of poly..... spherical and delalum bushings FTW

im going to try with a panhard bar first and if i have bind it will be removed in favor of the watts link (which will eventually happen either way)
