Thank you thank you for discussing NVH issues. Ever since I put my first project car on the road I have been disappointed by NVH. I see all those smiling people in the Hot Rod magazines with their fancy souped up musclecars enjoying life and I'm driving down the road saying "WTF ?"
I have fought NVH in my project cars for years and never been truly happy. I really appreciate your post. I've been running alum D/S for years but had never heard of the tire beads I will try that one ! In fact that sounds so cool I'm going to try it in my drivers too. Can never have my '92 Cadillac too smooth !
Maybe that's why my project cars feel so rough, cuz my daily is like driving melted butter on a feather pillow.
Now if someone could come out with a rod end/jonny joint/spohn threaded deal that used some kind of rubber instead of poly bushing. Howe does make one but its 2.5" in diameter. And I don't think you could make a 3D articulating deal with rubber either.
Also - very happy Hydratech customer here !
