Are those left and right hand threads? Will the adjusting nut (or collar) turn on it's own and need periodic adjusting? I really need one of these...:eyebrows:

Johnny, do you make these with softer bushings, I really want one but don't want the vibration, :eyebrows:

Let us know how it does on the mini if that's what you're getting one for TVM, might be thinking about doing that mod to mine when I start turning the power up, since it's shifting real firm right now, and I'd worry about how it's shocking the rest of the mounts.

Simon, when did you get an L-body?

Johnny, I'll be calling you in a few weeks to order one of these, it's just what my Omni needs.

Hmm, how hard would it be to make it a smidge longer, so that I could replace this dogbone with that solid one?

I ahve this Moog kit on my race car. Fits the A413 perfectly. The only difference - it puts the strut in tension rather than compression like on the factory struts...

I've never seen that Moog kit before, pretty wild.

I didn't. Don't you remember I added an L body dog bone to the van? Can't find the pics, :(

Sorry Simon, you would think I could rememeber all 10,000,000 of your posts, but every now and then I forget one....:p

Thanks for the link Rob!

No, you need to remove one end to adjust it.
I could do it the other way, just can't find left hand threaded B-7 allthread.
If you can find some, I can make one for you.

I do not have softer bushings for this, they would just get hammered out.
Adjust it so there is no pre-load (neutral position), then there should be minimal vibration.

That sounds good, the mount won't loosen itself off then, if you don't mind paypal, I will buy one.:thumb:

Agreed. I have Johnny's dog bone in my 'S. Set neutral it is no worse than the stock mount.

I am using a stocker and so far, its taken a beating with no problems, just trying to eliminate issues this summer. I still might have to try one, ;)

Awesome, I might have to get one but right now, the usual crap, no money or limited funds would be more accurate.
