HELP!!! 1969 camaro suspension nightmare

[mfain]

You might try reading pages 3 and 4 of the article at the link below -- the part about the relationship of the upper and lower control arms and the tie rods. The tie rods need to be on a line from the outer pivot point (at the steering arm) and the instant center (the angle formed by the control arms -- see photo in the article). The length of the tie rod from the end of the rack to the steering arm is also described. If you vary much from these parameters, you will get toe in or toe out (bumpsteer) with ride height change, as Todd suggests. On the other hand, you can't change camber without a ride height change or steering input (caused by caster) unless something moves in one of the control arm pivot points (inner or outer). A change in camber would probably cause a change in toe. I think Todd is on the right track.. Even a small ride height change can produce big changes if the basic geometry is not right. Hope this helps.
