Default New NASA TT Rules - Hardbard shock tops?

Saw this new language - anyone gotten a ruling or have an idea if this forbids the Hardbar shock tops?

6.4.E.24:

Metallic and/or spherical-design replacement suspension bushings +3 (except for pillow ball
camber plate joints, sway bar end links already assessed points in E.7) above, control arm
spindle/knuckle joints already assessed points in E.9) above, and panhard rod or Watts links
already assessed in E.20) or E.21) above.)

Despite the fancy name of Gary's bushings, it is the same shape/size as OEM, just stiffer - totally legal (otherwise, the OEM would be illegal).

It takes a lot of paperwork to hide money.

I read something yesterday that the govt can process any 1040's until Feb due to changes in the tax law?
