perfect just weld it their
I don't know about all of the above. What I know of snubbers is that they
bolt to the rear end at the universal joint on 4spd drag cars. When the
vehicle launches it allows the rear end to wind up about an inch
before it contacts the floorboard. It keeps your driveshaft angles where
they belong while eliminating wheel hop hence giving you better traction
and minimizing broken parts. HTH
P. S. Hot automatics can also benefit from them. But hell man, you gotta be
planting a lot of torque to experience any positive results.
