steering and handeling help, 73 duster
Its just been aligned here at a local shop..
If you just had it aligned, then you should have gotten a print-out of the before and after specs. You should post the numbers here.
Also what kind of tires are you running?
Before spending $$$ on questionable quality tubular upper control arms, I'd recommend buying the Moog offset UCA bushings. You CANNOT obtain any decent caster numbers with stock parts because there is not enough adjustment which is the key here. Install the bushings in the upper arms such that you get more positive caster. The front bushing goes one way and the rear goes opposite. You want the upper ball joint to be offset towards the rear of the car.
I have Moog rubber LCA bushings, Moog 2-piece rubber strut rod bushings, good ball joints and tie rod ends. poly sway bar bushings, fast ratio manual steering. Also poly rear spring shackle bushings. I went to my alignment place and gave them the numbers
I wanted. 1/16-1/8" toe-in, 1/2* neg camber, 2* positive caster. Both sides of the car set equally. The original factory specs are for the old narrow bias-ply tires and need to be adjusted to work with radials. I pretty much followed Tom Condran's ideas in his book. Mancini's has all this stuff if you can't find it.
My 68 tracks like a freight train. Hands-off on the interstate, no wind shift, and no side-to-side darting.....EVER.
