Is this TruHart Rear lower control arm legal in STX?
 
Hi STX Experts - Is this TruHart Rear LCA legal in STX with that bushing? Thanks!

My guess is No. But would really need to see a cutaway of the inner bushing to be certain.

I’d say Yes. Depends on how much metal they added. Needs to be the same and it looks like it is.

Always wondered, same amount by volume, or weight?

I’d say by volume. That’s the same style as my Racer X, which are legal. I’d call it good.

Agreed on volume. To my eye this looks like less soft bushing than stock, I would not gamble on it being legal and would rather pick one of the known legal options from Verus or SPC+press-in bushing.

Hopefully this image of the oe arm from ebay stays up because I'm not going to unearth mine.

I've got a set of racerX's, they've got way more soft material than stock.

My first impression was that it looks to be more metal than the Diftech press in piece, but given the angle of the pic and the different shape, it is really hard to tell.

With that said, personally, I might care a bit if someone had a spherical, I wouldn't care about these.

With that said, I'm only 1 person.

Got a picture of yours? Every picture I can find on the net shows a pillow ball bushing and isn't remotely legal in STX.

Here's some off their instagram from a few years back;

When I bought mine off them, the marketing specifically stated STX legal. Not sure why they stopped producing. I’ll get a picture this weekend.

They quit offering the poly bushing but they used to.
