Re: [Amc-list] Strut rod eliminators

OK,
I'll chime in here.......

Maybe this setup is a bit rougher ride than all rubber, but unless you're
changing the entire suspension to late model corvette or something, you're
not going to get a fantastic cadillac ride with Porsche handling. The
benefit is the front wheels won't always be searching all over the road for
their ideal direction like they do with the all rubber setup. Bumpsteer is
what the seller of the part is talking about. That's the issue that occurs
to make you constantly adjust the steering wheel for every little deflection
caused by a bump in the road, which throws the alignment out of whack and
causes false steering inputs (ones not initiated by the driver). Wouldn't
the rubber in the upper arm and lower arm mounts to the chassis still take
up a lot of the road shock? It isn't the strut rod bushings that take all of
this shock. I think this guy has it correct. Less bump steer equals less
driving fatigue.
