Interesting setup. Question is why MCA didn't make the whole thing? I'm assuming if they wanted to make it contact w less parts, but they could added replacement Link Assy Support. Instead of reusing the stock ones.
hmmm...... my question is "does an 86 really NEED any traction assists"?

Allow me to draw on my back-in-the-day knowledge. When cars had leaf springs on the rear and the engine was hopped up to produce more torque and/or the tires were bigger/stickier, sometimes the added torque could "wind up" the rear leaf springs.

The solution was to add "traction masters" to the rear suspension to prevent the springs from being distorted.

Since when does an 86 have enough torque to "wind up" hardly anything?

OK, OK - I'll go back to my whittling -
