You should drive it to Bunbury in June then ........

Found the issue - top ball joints are binding on full droop, the LHS bump stop had collapsed - more Rare Spares Chinese shit - and the upper ball joints are running out of articulation. Cleaned up some Holden bump stops and they will be good for another 60 years - the Rares ones lasted 3 or 4 ..... ...

What stubs do you have in that one ? CRS drop spindles - probably worth checking with a stock one tomorrow , with CRS's history of stuff that doesn't fit it could be well worth a look. Must be bending the top ball joint over to binding point or something… some of those ball joints are just shit.. n...

I was talking about this last night and one thing that was mentioned is the vintage speedcar boys are more likely to have one under their workbench than the drag racers because of their size ????

I know a few drag racers over here Harv, and we congregate on a Monday afternoon in one of the aforementioned racers sheds for adult cordials and serious discussion, will ask the question and see if they will put the feelers out over here mate.
