Big Block Suspension Question

i prefer only having the one side that can move.. yes i can see the qa1 style is easier to adjust i just never liked both sides needing jamb nuts like the qa1 strut rods.. just a goofy fear of them both loosening and losing the strut rod all together..lol

It’s the same idea as a tie rod.

I like them because they’re basically the same set up as the stock strut rods with how they’re attached to the LCA. You have the threaded end that goes through the LCA and gets a nut, as opposed to the RMS or PST style that has a bolt that goes through.

Way easier to adjust too so there’s less of a chance you end up with any binding on the LCA. Just turn the tube like a tie rod end and set the locks. With the bolt style you set the length but then have to torque the bolt. If you haven’t pre-set the length perfectly tightening the bolt can change the overall length and move the LCA. Obviously it’s not impossible but I’ve found it takes me more trial and error to get it all assembled the way I want.

And yeah, 70k miles on the ones on my Challenger and nothing ever came loose.
