1jeffcat Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) We purchased a car with an aftermarket anti-roll bar, that came with spherical end links for the anti-roll bar. I'm in the process of eliminating all of the other spherical suspension bits, adjustable toe links, and adjustable ball joint/A-arms, which had been an expensive PITA to try to get back the OEM suspension parts and aligning the car to get the modification factor back. I'm modifying the car and spending money to make it worse. 🤔 Am I to presume that spherical anti-roll bar end links also need to be replaced with adjustable, non-spherical end links in order not to be assessed a mod factor? Quote 4) Control arms, camber arms/links, toe arms/links may be modified, replaced, or removed, and a Modification Factor will be assessed. Adjustable plates, shims, and eccentric bolts and bushings for camber/caster adjustment are not assessed a Modification Factor. 5) Panhard rods, watts links, and torque arms may be added, replaced, or modified, and a Modification Factor will be assessed. (Subframe connectors beneath the floor are permitted with the addition of a torque arm.) 6) Non-OEM metallic and/or spherical design replacement suspension bushing modifications on control/camber/toe arms/links, panhard rods, watts links, and torque arms shall be assessed a Modification Factor which is in addition to and additive to #4 & #5 above. (Includes replaced, modified, adjustable, or altered control arm ball joints for roll-center correction or camber/caster adjustment. Note: ball joint may be welded to the spindle for added strength) Edited May 29, 2019 by 1jeffcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
National Staff Greg G. Posted May 29, 2019 National Staff Share Posted May 29, 2019 Spherical end links on sway bars are fine. It is only the listed items that require the modification factor for sphericals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
