Is there any disadvantage to running the wear pads on the front torsion arms? Might be a stupid question but I was just wondering.

Not that I can think of.

I use nylon on mine, I feel like it makes a difference, but then again, it's like trying to explain the difference between reg gear lube, and synthetic, in the QC, I feel synthetic is a hands down winner there. Bob

Thanks a lot guys.. I really didnt feel a difference between the two but I know there is a lot of knowledge on this board and it wouldn't hurt to pick some peoples brains. Thank you again guys and good luck to everyone this year.
