Default Re: 69 camaro front suspension

I dont use any fancy tall ball joints...never heated any components to reshape and i have great bump steer with less then 3/8 toe in or out throughout the complete travel. Sounds too me like there isnt enough caster in the car to be honest. My tie rods are completely level at ride height, nose in the weeds with less then a 1/2 inch between the lower bump stop and frame with 6 1/2 inches of upward travel and the toe is set to 1/16 in at ride height. Id make sure noone has put a cheap set of drop spindles on the car previously or maybe something is bent? Id be looking at the alignment before i changed anything. 1/16 to an 1/8 toe in with as much positive caster as possible to start. I still have the original 68 control arms loaded with global west bushings...moog replacement steering components and Afco low friction ball joints with moroso springs.
