Bradness is referencing the Cougar arms here. Just wanted that to be clear. Although the Cougar arm may be a bit harsh, I see the potential for those to significantly reduce wheel hop. Any reports on that aspect of the Cougar arms??

The Mondy arm measures out same as the Contique arms and appears to have ample bushing material at the subframe connections to absorb vibration, impacts, road irregualarity shocks, & other stresses.

I started a reply about the Mondy arms & then double checked what I was responding to because Bradness is so rarely wrong. Sure as shootin', he's right & I was goin' off half cocked.



Now I haven't worked on A arms for any Cougars, but aren't they the same as those for the Contours? Did all Cougars come with 2 bolt arms or were there any that came with 4 bolt arms?

Also, my experience with boxed Stock A arms is that they do in fact reduce transaxle destroying "wheel hop". Only problem is I do all the work of reinforcing and then lightening them and the damn bushings go in a couple of years.

Need a poly solution... and I'm still searching for bushings which will be a direct fit!
