Original T/A's worked despite their direct coupling to the rear housing because they could flex enough. The reason they could flex was because of their length, triangulation, I-beam construction, & the rubber bushed sleeves in the front mounts.

The biggest problem w/aftermarket T/A's is they eliminate that ability to flex when they change the material (tubular construction doesn't allow twist like a I-beam will) & utilize poly bushings in the front (much more dense vs. the rubber bushed sleeves).

Eliminating that ability to flex means they will bind faster than OE arms will. Yes, they will be stiffer but that's not better when it's accompanied w/bind. Think of it as going around a corner @ a high rate of speed. The suspension needs to cycle properly. If it cannot operate freely throughout its range, it becomes unpredictable.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
