Just to let you guys know that I'm still around. Just been very busy. Did spend some track time though.

Been out running in the area of the Land Speed Record.

Steve,
Could you measure the length of the bolt on the TSW swaybar drop links. After replacing the heim joints on one side I'm still getting some "groaning" coming from the otherside....just couldn't hear it over the "clunking" that was there before. I'm concerned about the thickness of the arm of the WMS vs a standard rear swaybar and if the TSW drop link bolt will be long enough to connect up properly.
thanks,

The length is about an inch and a sixteenth.

Thanks...I'll take a closer "look see" this weekend just to make sure it will fit. Getting really tired of the creaking 'n groaning. It's bad enough when I get the 'ol bones up in the mornings. Don't need it from the mini as well. I should be down there 1 or 2 days next week, so I'll stop by to buy.
