Can you remove the quad shocks with any aftermarket LCA's or just certain kinds?

Poly bushings are polyurethane, if the arm has them on both sides they dont articulate at all cause they bind up against the torque box which isnt good. A spherical bushing os a heim joint it can moove freely without binding.

Ok idk that, so is it better to have a heim joint on both sides of the arm? Or would you want poly on one side and heim on the other?

The lack of articulation IS what hurts cornering, so indeed are aftermarket arms that will hurt handling. I think you know this, so figure you just didn't articulate yourself well

Get it....? we are talking about rear-axle articulation and figured you didn't articulate yourself well..?

oh... I kill me
