Are MISALIGNMENT SPACERS required when using rod ends on a rear link suspension set up. I'm starting to put together all the parts that I need to build a 3 link for my 03 lightning it will be used mostly on the street but will see drag strip and autocross tracks also. It's making around 600hp and 700 tq weighs 4600 lbs but I hope to get it down to 4100.

my falcon has over 15 degrees of articulation in the 3-link before it gets close to any bind and I do not have misalignment spacers on my rod ends.

Thanks I didn't want to buy them if they wasn't needed but really didn't want to be redoing anything.

be careful, your car maybe different than mine. You can always build a wider bracket for the rod ends and use spacers if you get bind switch the cheap spacers to high misalignment spacers.
