Default Re: Steering question

[QUOTE=Eman;522057]I'd say the only true fixes would be to stop wheelstanding or replace the complete frt. chassis/suspension which wouldn't be feasible for a stocker. /QUOTE]

You never know, with enough complaints and lobbying, maybe NHRA will allow Stockers to replace the stock front suspension with a Chrome Moly, round tube clip, with lightweight Lamb struts and brakes. All in the interest of "Safety", of course!!

After all , they weren't designed to recover smoothly for a wheelstand.

Anyone ever try to fix that, or are you stuck with a band aid solution?
Mark, the 4th gen cars weren't designed for wheel stands either. Those changes can be corrected, or at least minimized. I always considered that part of building the car. May be more difficult to correct on a 3rd gen. I have always, since my Jr Stockers in the 1960s, spent a lot of time there. Toe change corrections can be worth some ET. All easier if you have some wheel alignment equipment and some fabrication skills.
