I wonder of if you are criticizing a tried and proven product from experience for from theory.
I can't claim any experienced with these, but just saying that nylon washers don't have the compressive strength of steel or even aluminum (that's a fact, not theory), and I have seen plastic components "ooze" out from the connection.
Jerry, I'm not doubting that dirt track racing is extremely hard on suspension components, but I don't think the typical Stovebolt is going to get that kind of abuse.
