Put some snubbers on the front end so the front end can only go down so far. You will be amazed at how much that will help.

Greg, i do believe the car has snuggers on the front. Any other suggestions??

Re: Radial Wabble Problem
 

I had heard the radials should only be used on automatic cars but I just had to try them on my stick car. Wow! the tire shake was incredible I thought I was in a fuel car. It didn't settle down until I put it into third gear.The announcer at Norwalk said it looked like basketball going down the track More air pressure did not help Two passes were enough for me to see the light. They just do not have enough sidewall. As for your problems I have observed wobbles similar to what you are experiencung on My buddies sperstock hemi car. I do know he has double adjustable shocks front and rear.

Re: Radial Wabble Problem
 

We have M/T radials on all 3 of our cars and have no problems. For sure a radial tire will bring out any problems in your suspension and also the track. The only time my car tends to roll or pitch is on a uneven surface. I would recommend no less than 16lbs air pressure. Also make sure both tires are the same roll out and the correct direction.

Thanks for all your post guys.

Re: Radial Wabble Problem
 

along with the front snubbers, if you're having problems with wobble at the top end in the shutdown make sure the front snubbers hit at the same time...ie push down on the front of the car and be sure that one side does not go down farther than the other. When you're slowing down, the front end usually bottoms down and uneveness can cause oscillation that is magnified in the radials. Might be part of the problem, but shocks are likely to contribute too. Good luck finding the cause.

Sounds to me like you don't have any (or not enough) toe in.
This will also scrub off mph

Re: Radial Wabble Problem
 

Only times I ever had it happen was too little air, when I didn't have them on wide enough wheels. Hoosier's catalog list wheels not wide enough. For instance, they show 10" wheels for a 10.5 X 30 radial, 12' wheels make a whole new car of it. Hooks much harder and more stable. I've yet to have as good a result if the wheels was not wider than the tread area by at least an inch.

I've seen it several times on two different cars, mid 9 sec 68 Camaro with cal tracks and a high 9 sec 69 GS with ladder bar and Alf Wiebes upper wish bone, both cars using C07 Hoosier's. It is for sure a wabble, not a shake or vibration and at part track. It is someting to watch, it is a side to side thing. I have been using MT's for years and love them. Chris
