If your car is currently pushing up front I would say go for it.

My bad, I thought I saw the Del-A-Lum shackle kit on your car.

In their marketing statements they claim: "Del-A-Lum bushings also provide lateral control of the leaf springs." My tire clearances are tight enough that limiting lateral play wouldn't hurt the situation. Regarding front end push - it's not been an issue, the rear springs are a pretty stiff rate.

Any possibilities of putting in any track time? T-Hill June 30th? :unibrow: Pushing the car is the only way to really know what direction to head next.

Doctors orders:

X-rays were good, sprained and stretched medial collateral ligament.

If you're not up on knees here's a quick pictorial education:

Sieg,

Glad it's not worse.

That's nice of GW to volunteer to finish yer 'Maro for ya.

Oops, all of a sudden I feel a :bur2:from the WahWah state.

:hello:

Hey matching socks!! REST UP AND GET BETTER

Sucks you're laid up Sieg :(, but it coulda been worse! I know MCL issues all too well.

Look at the bright side: maybe you'll have more time to post on LatG :lol:

Contrary to popular belief I'm not trying to knock GW off that throne. I'll just keep him checking the rearview mirror occasionally.

I was lucky, the knee was loose and popping enough that the doc took xrays, he actually sounded surprised with the results. Highlight of the event was Nikki the hottie x-ray tech saying "you're very photogenic" :excited:

What a candy azz....

BTW -- the "nurse" says that to EVERYONE....
