I do have 90-10's on the front and 70-30's rear. Yes once straightening out the car comes back to level. Thanks for the help. |

Thanks for the help Dragsinger. A rear sway bar might control the handling since the roll bar was added. Down track it wanders a little and sometimes moves left when braking in the shut down area. I am assuming that the roll bar installation lessens "normal" body flex (it's welded to the frame), |

Re: Suspension help
If you're getting it realigned you had better find out what it was setup to beforehand, at least if you plan to take it to a normal alignment shop, because they'll want to set it to stock specs, and it will likely make your problem worse.

Re: Suspension help
When you say wandering, are you sawing on the steering wheel or are you feeling the instability in your seat?

Re: Suspension help
Slight steering wheel movement, more like a feeling of the car floating around. It also wants to move to the right when i lift at the top end. Prior to the roll bar being installed it was much more of an easier ride. It used to run nice and straight with a relaxed grip on the wheel.....now I keep a firm grip on it.

Re: Suspension help
I am going to have someone take a picture of it at the finish line and figure out how high the front end is and when getting it aligned have the front raised up to that height and set camber at zero,toe as close to zero and caster positive about 5 degrees. Does that sound anywhere near right?

Re: Suspension help
Phil, I've sold a number of the BMR Xtreme Sway bars to CMDR members.
Check out the pictures from last weekends race @ NED on Actionracingphotos.com Rick Kagawa is "Dead-On" about Alf Weibe's supension system! Call The "Golddigger" Jim Boudreau for an alignment! Last edited by Greg Barsamian; 04-22-2009 at 08:04 AM. |
