Glad to see Coach, sqd, and SkySheperd chiming in. All of you gentlemen are waaaaay beyond my (current) mechanical abilities to understand the workings of our suspensions.
However, this thread will definitely be included in the (overdue) update to the Suspension Thread.
I did not like the idea of leaving the Suspension Bind Issue unresolved. However, I am not nearly mechanically adept enough to question either Steve (98sr20ve) or Mike K (choaderboy2). Hell, half the time I cannot follow their discussions except in a very general sense.
I would looooove to have them join in this thread and discuss this issue to a firm resolution point. A concensus of expert opinions including Ben, Darrin, Coach, Stephen (already included here)....Steve and Mike K would be superb. Perhaps getting Greg V's input for good measure, and some part numbers if those are indeed placement specific.
Uh...from my limited understanding, neither the ES bushings (not enough deflection) nor the stock bushings (too much deflection) are the right answer. The corrrect answer is heim joints, which are currently a "user built custom" type of solution? Ie...peice them together yourself from the Ingalls catalog? If so, Ben can you (eventually) provide the correct part numbers and a diagram of the assembly so that it could be reproduced by the masses?
I'm just the librarian, cataloguing "books" of information (ie. threads) that I don't always fully understand.
