Re: Steering question
I currently have some racers experimenting with the fix for this problem, at this time. My fix on this wobble when coming down from a wheel stand is to install a stock OEM rubber bushing in the, ilder arm end of the center link. Once installed, point the wheels strait ahead, and tighten nut on the pivot to OEM specs.. That will act as a shock absorber, to help stop the shimmy. Note; It was pointed out to me that the 3rd gen. Camaro, has a pivot built into the end of the center link, so this fix will only work on cars with a replace-able bushing, such as the 55-57 Chevy, early Chevy 2, etc. You may call me anytime for help, or my theory's on front ends, especially for the early Chevy 2.

Re: Steering question
My 3rd gen Camaro stocker was probably the 4th one built in the country back in the 80's and mine was the first one with a stick. When I first ran it , it shook hard and it was not wheelstanding. I changed the caster camber settings a few times and nothing helped, the parts in the frontend were new also. I then called FJ Smith who was building a lot of SS 3rd gen cars at that time. He said but a volks bug steering damper and make some brackets and put it on. All his cars had that set up. I did that and it fixed the shake completely. Still have the car, with a volks damper on it. You can get one easy at a parts store and install it yourself with a little fab work.
