Nova Front suspension
 
Hey guys, just had a quick question I have been unable to find the answer for on google.
I have a 69 Nova with Ridetech Spindles, Tubular upper arms, stock lowers(for now) and qa1's. With the addition of the new spindles, my outer tie rod hits my wheel, and again for now, I have my steering arms spaced off the spindle roughly 3/8" to allow the tire to roll freely. Will the addition of a tru-turn setup relieve this issue? I have also read about another type of setup that involves using A-body arms to achieve the same results as a tru turn setup does. What is your guys advice/suggestions on this. I won't drive the car with the spacers in until I safely correct the issue. Thanks all

Tru Turn will fix that. You will be able to use up to an 18x10 wheel with a 5.75" backspace and a 275-35/18 tire.

Thanks Bret, that's what I was hoping to hear..lol I'm actually getting ready to order your 4 link rear as well.

Raymond performance is right in your area, or you can order direct.
Thank you for your support!

Bret, would the true turn fit with an 18x9.5 and 6" of backspacing?

The tire will rub the frame and swaybar Slightly at full lock, but you could extend the steering stop slightly to fix that. If youre ordering 9.5 wheels, i like a 5.5 backspace.

from my experience yes.... 18x10 6 3/4" back space.
Hotchkis sway bar, Hotchkis spring with an AFCO spring jack screw hat.

all cars are different and you must measure at your desired height.

I used button head bolts and watched the caster adjustments to clear the rear wheel well. I adjusted the turn stops as the tires will rub the sway bar at full lock which is way past u turn.

18x10 with 5.75" BS with 275, off the 48 Hour Camaro on my Nova at RTTH's, just to show everyone that it fits and works.
