Loose Feeling In Corner
I been battling this loose feeling into a corner, basicly feels like an over loaded truck! Quick info for rear suspension ;
Currie lowers arms and adjustable uppers Hellwig adjustable sway bar Poly bushings in upper rear housing QA1 single adjustable shocks GW 130 springs Air lift bags about 5psi Things I tried; Check all bolts and fasteners, several times All 3 positions on rear sway bar, have not disconected it Tire pressure Air bag pressure Firm up shocks Recheck rear end is centered Alginment is;street performance camber: -1/2 caster: +5 to +5.5 toe in: 1/16" total Nothing made any difference, one way or another. The 295/45/18 tires are pretty close in the wheel wells, if the rear housing was moving much I'd think there would be a rub. I'm planning on swapping the poly upper bushings for UMI Roto Joints, or something similar. Had some spherical type in that position but the NVH was not tolerable. My Tacoma with a 2" lift and taller tires doesn't squirm around as much. I had the suspension set up for street strip deal, years and years. I lived with it, figured it was set up to try to go straight. The rear always tries to pass the front! YEEHAAA:eek:!! Following up on some info from on Team Chevelle. My left tie rod assembly on the drivers side is 5/8" longer than the passengers side. Obviously the steeringbox is not centered, idler arm and pitman arm are not parallel front to rear. I borrowed a bumpsteer gauge, haven't set it up yet, but on the list of things to do. Do you think the 5/8" difference with my tie rod assembles is partly or the source of the uneasy feeling I'm experiencing? Thanks for all the suggestions. |

Been very busy, only have had a few hours a week to work on the Chevelle. Steering box, colum, and wheel, belive I have all centered. The Idler arm wasn't greasable and hitting the sway bar. Picked up a Snapa premium, swap it out before setting the toe. Considerable difference here! Anybody have an idea what, if any ramifications, this may cause?

I'd check to see if the rear end housing is square in the chassis.

With that (good!) amount of caster, I suspect you may have a bump steer problem.
