Mopar A body front end work

03-30-2010, 05:37 AM

Who near Corona, Ca. is good with Mopar A body stock/super stock front suspension/steering work? - seems like some bushings in the front end and/or steering need to be replaced with stiffer pieces, and the car has a bad case of bumpsteer. Needs to be given a good looking over, as the car is all over the place when the front end comes back down.

Thanks

Mike's Automotive in Hesperia does some Stock Elim. guy's stuff and used to run a 1968 Dart with stock type suspension that ran in the9's @130 plus. I bought it and was very pleased with how it drove on 10" ET Streets. He is probably 1 1/2 hours from you up Cajon Pass. I suggest that you buy $100. of tools and put in the parts yourself .... save a ton of money! High Duro Poly bushings are well worth the money. Let me know and I'll call around and get his number. I buy all my suspension stuff from Matt at Glendora Dodge (30 Minutes from you) Good Luck....Let me know if you need more info. Racer7411@yahoo.com

Does anybody know anyone good who does this type of work in the middle of the country? Looking for an "Okie" Jack Arnew!

Texas, Kansas, Missouri etc will do as well.

LPS, check the inner pivot bushings in the lower control arms . Look from under the car just at the aera where the arm bolts through the cross member and the troq bars connect.If the pin looks as if it is off center the bushings are bad and will let the control arm move in and out changing the toe in on each wheel casuing drift. This toe change will drive the car in the direction of the wheel that has the most weight on it at that time.Also you should be running at least 4to5 degrees of caster in the front end and zero camber on both wheels with driver in the car.
good luck!!!
