Thread: stock suspension and drive set up for strip, vega.

Stock suspension, especially one that is already a 4 link type, can be made to work.... Boxing the bars on the rear is important, gets rid of a lot of the flex in the stamped steel stockers... Use some good urethene bushings, you might also want to drill a small hole through the arm and bushing then install a grease zerk so you can keep everything moving freely and not binding up....same thing on the front end bushings.... Another thing on the front end; use some good lock nuts on the upper a-arm cross shaft and tighten the nuts enough to keep everything in position, but not so much that it compresses the poly bushing and restricts the arms movement....

The stock suspension will probably never hit as hard as an aftermarket 4 link suspension, but it's going to save you a ton of time and money on the build...and not require cutting up the car if that's important to you....
