Lower Control Arm Stabilization

["tmpintnl" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Hello List - 

I had mentioned in a previous post that I was exploring some new 
hardware to help stabilize the front lower control arms. I have 
received a call from the vendor, and the engineering drawings are 
ready for my approval. They will also provide a set of parts for me 
to try on my car, and I will report on the results when available. 
The company is also developing a price for all components, so that 
others can obtain these parts if the evaluation is successful. They 
will require that the parts be run through a third-party distributor 
because they are not set up for individual sales. I personally 
believe that the links will provide a positive benefit, but the data 
will prove one way or the other. I am exploring the process of doing 
a real-time stress survey (using digital strain gages and recording 
equipment) on the test parts and on the car frame and existing front 
sway bar to determine how much load transfer will actually happen, and 
if excessive loads will be introduced into the frame shock towers. I 
will report on that data if I can manage that study. Stay tuned for 
further developments ...
