Cutting strut rod bushings for correct geometry?

Because you claim to have more common sense doesn't mean you do.

At the time of the front end rebuild, there were no graphite poly bushings available for the 1968 Barracuda front end (only those thicker made bushings were available). The modification was done with precise measuring and comparing to the older worn out rubber bushings as well as a new set of rubber bushings. This wasn't a cut and throw on deal. Due to the posting space here, I limited my explaination to a short description. My suspension is 1000 times more sound than the stock front end ever was. All parts were installed with correct torque on the wheels as well as upgrading to C-body tie rod links, quality ball joints, rebuilt steering box, and the addition of a quality sway bar (mine didn't come with one) and disc brakes. Alignment was done by a highly qualified technician on the most current equipment and came into alignment very easily. I even had them check my work in case I missed something. I have put about 15000 miles on it since and haven't had a bit of trouble. It steers straight and tracks perfectly. It is now fun to drive.

As we all know, everyone has their opinion. Just because you don't like mine, doesn't make yours better.

The only thing mentioned here that would be only for a track car only would be The 3 inch wheels plus the 90 / 10's. And if you don't know that these drag only you should pack it in. None of these things I explained have anything to do with modifying or cutting any moving suspension parts.But thats ok I can understand that not all of us have the comon sense to know better. So! Just so you know these procedures are for, As Mentioned Super Stock spring use. And this answer was for the person who asked about suspension preload. For you my sugestion would be to install what ever parts you have on hand and if they don't fit get out the saw and proper heavy hammer to make the correct adjustments for your professional modifications and installation proceedures your good buddy suggests.
