Bike tire vs. a blade wheel was a good one... plus the strenght of tubular steel over the pressed plate Ford provide....??

I had NO wheel hop stock though... seems like 2 in 3 S197's don't...?? must have to do with the angle of the arms and the rigity of the bushings and arms...???

OK a few comments and questions...
I have an 07 GT hardtop with the 18" wheel option. In the describes "10 mph stomping on it in the wet scenario" it feels like I am driving on one of those vehicle testing tracks with the very rough surfaces to test suspension. In other words, it shakes like it's on crack.

Anyways, on to the question. If you have adjustable LCA's, upgraded UCA's, lowering springs (Pro-kit for example) and Tokico D-Specs with an adjustable panhard rod, will a street car experience axle bind in a road race type of driving scenario if the UCA/LCA setup uses solid joints (rose joints)?

Try shutting off TCS, get into a rainy or wet road area and tromp it at 10 mph in first gear.

First there is only one UCA.

The D-SPecs will take car of most for you... as hard or soft as you want. The race 'problem' coming in is the vibrations transfered to your chassis, and with that your butt and ears from the much more solid attachments and arms...
