QA1 problem

crazy 340 said
hang on its a long story

few years ago I bought the upper control arm the K frame and strut rod from QA1
instal the upper control and the strut rod right away but let the K frame alone

didnt have the time to replace it !!

last winter I rebuilt my 408 so was the time to replace the k frame

so last week I went to the alignement shop the guy didnt have to told me its was out of spec couldnt even turn the steering all the way to the right because the tire was in contact to the fender !!!

he made a quick alignment reset the ride hide and told me to run the car as is for few days to let every thing settle a bit

yesterday I went back to the same shop so he could made the final adjustment
sorry I dont brang back the paper with all the spec

BUT I went for a ride after the final alignement under normal driving it aint that bad bud if I jump on the brake the steering wheel wanna turn left if I hit a bump it feel gouffy a little and under hard acceleration the steering wheel wanna turn right, but baddly right almost a quater of a turn ,if I keep the steering tight and stright the car will go left ,when I release the gas pedal and let the front end go down or settle the steering wheel is coming back as normal , if I hit a bump doing this the car is all over the place

I have to let the steering turn right because the car will go left

any idea ???

What year is the car? Idler arms are different for some years. According to the Mopar Chassis Bible, the proper way to adjust the height of the idler arm is to elongate the mounting holes and spot weld a hardened washer to the tabs to relocate the arm in the right spot.

Regarding bump steer, it would be nice to have a pair of hydraulic jacks that are rigged to raise and lower the suspension through the full range of travel while the front tires are on slip plates in order to measure the changes in toe-in as the suspension goes through its range of motion.

My car bump steers slightly, but I have not tried to back off the torsion bars all the way to see if gravity is enough to collapse the front suspension all the way down to obtain the measurement at full compression. I would love to have my measurements in changing toe-in during full-range of suspension travel and make some set-up adjustments to my suspension components to eliminate my bump steer.
