The sliders are nice.. just keep them clean.. what
MOST people forget is the rubber bushings on old cars
are hard and tend to bind up.. if you run shackles
the old bushings can cause issues.. they can bind
then snap free.. chassis's dont like to be upset..
thats part of the reasons that people really like
the sliders.. they put a new item on the car that
isnt binding... plus the sliders lower the back of
the car and in most cases that helps on traction
(gets the CG down a little more so its easier to get
the front over the CG point)... but if people would
just lube the rubber points now and then it would help




P-Body dude... I have Caltracs and Caltrack mono-leafs. I have brand new rubber bushings in my shackles. What would changing to sliders do for me? How much maintenance will I have to do on them to keep them working?

If you keep the rubber bushings lube they are fine..
the sliders usually lower the back of the car about
1 1/2"... that can help the launch... keeping them
clean is just that.. spray them down with lube once
in a while... by the way I dont care to be called dude..
its just a thing
