Re: Suspension Notice for S/SS by NHRA
Well said Jeff and Jeff LOL. I agree with both of you and I just realized what makes my car "hunt" in the shut down area. I still have the rubber bushings in mine and I was going to change them because I realized just how much the wheels move forward and rearward with the rubber bushings but I didn't realize it was toeing out under braking and that's why my car "hunts" I never understood that until now. Thank you.
I wish I was home to take a picture of the inside of the wheel housing on rear side by the firewall. I've always noticed that its always down to bare metal from the tire rubbing it. I would paint that area and after being out with the car once or twice it was polished shiny metal again. That's when I realized that the tires were moving that far back under braking and coming down off wheelies. I ordered the spherical bearing from Calvert to fix this issue. I hope NHRA understand that this is a SAFETY issue!!!
