    Here are 2 vidoes showing the differences with OEM radius rod and lower control arm bushes and Pedders. What it shows is a OEM radius rod bush in a vice, and pulling the radius rod arm at the end with a 1 to 2 pound pull. There is some serious movement. The second video shows the same setup, but with a Pedders bushing installed. With about 15 pounds of pull, the movement is maybe 10% or less

    Now keep in mind, the movement of the OEM radius rod bush is significant. Think about the movement at 60mph, on a panic stop!. After viewing the 2 videos, which bush do you think will give you the best control?

    Mike,

    I tried to find the vids on youtube since you did not paste the link.

    Couldn't find them. Well, I didn't look too long. lol

    Have you and A-J Tires become partners yet (in Albuquerque)?

    the links are on my thread.

    Aj tire is a go. Still waiting for all the paperwork and stuff to go thru. We are really excited about them and look forward to a long relationship with them
