Darren,

Glad you got your problem resolved. I was aware that the rear can cause steering issues. I have a copy of Carroll Smith's book about racing and it is quite informative. One section talks about anti-squat and it's effect on rear axle pivot (one side moving forward, the other side moving rearward) during cornering, which obviously has a major impact on steering, similar to the new Chevy trucks with four wheel steering.

You broke a grade 8 bolt! What size? Mine are 1/2 inch. I wonder if I'm at risk of breaking one?

I'm not using the stock B&B mounts, I fabricated a bracket that has about 1/4 inch clearance on each side of the bolt, between the bracket and the hiem joint on the shock. This means that it's not in shear, but in theory could bend/bow slightly. The top mount is even worse, with close to 1 inch on each side. Please describe your setup in detail so I can determine if I need to make a change.

Dave
