I bought a longacre gauge and tried it out today. I’m either doing something wrong or I have an issue. Here’s my findings. Seems pretty basic but maybe I’m buggered up.
- Passenger
- Compression.
.5” .055.
1”. .090.
1.5” .115.
2.0” .150
Drivers
- compression.
.5” .050.

1.5” .110.
2” .200[/QUOTE
Looks like this thread got away from the original topic. My experience is only on drag cars. Once you have the caster/camber where you want it, then you need to move the tie rod ends up or down to get the pivots arcs the same. I made a bump steer kit from part sold by speedway. I used Heim joints, adjusting tubes and studs that match the angle of the tie rod ends. They sell shims or you can use nuts to adjust the height. I’ll post a picture tomorrow. There is a lot of trial and error to correct this, measure make an adjustment and measure again to see the affect. Do one side at a time, unbolt the shocks and back off the t bars so you can get full travel. One tip is to take a measurement of the center of the spindle at the ride height before you take everything apart. I use the wheel well lip directly above the spindle as a reference point. It almost impossible, but if you get the arc right, you’ll have the same amount of change at the same amount of travel above and below this centerline. So say you have 0 at center and -.02 2” above and -.02 below you have the arc centered. These numbers are just for an example. Expect each side of the car to be different. Once you have both sides bumpsteer corrected you can then set the overall toe. I still don’t have mine right, but good enough.
