Ummm, no.

LCAs are loaded in compression whenever you are accelerating, not tension. The rest of the tech looks OK, though. No comment either way with respect to specific vendors' parts.


jahudso2 - any time that you disassemble something that can potentially let the connected pieces move relative to each other, it's worth spending a moment thinking just how you're going to deal with that movement. And more importantly, how you're going to keep that movement under control so that you're working safely.
