Question about autocross and poly bushings. 200

I installed poly trailing arm and torque rod bushings in the
rear of my 240 wagon. I have made no other suspension modifications
(thus far). Would my car be classified as Stock? The FAQ that
I've found says that any shocks, front sway bar and wheels of stock
dimensions can be used, but it makes no mention of bushings.


TIA -b.

    Here in Vancouver (cacc competition rules) you should be ok...if the bushings alter the geometry then you would be reclassified as superstock...when in doubt check other rulebooks...you can try here http://www.caccautosport.org/cacc.htm
    and see if this helps...

      Watch out for that. With the 700s at least, some of the commonly available polyurethane bushings will modify the suspension geometry. The most commonly available strut rod bushings, for instance, are larger than the original rubber ones. Of course there were three different lengths of strut rods available.
