How many degrees of play left or right off of straight ahead does our front suspension travel. OR how many degrees of rotation at the ball joints. I need this to calculate rack and pinion ratios. This is not how many times the steering wheel turns. Andrew

Should I get single or double adjustable coil over shocks. Come on you road race guys help me here with pros and cons. Thanks Andrew

I just bent the main hoop and it looks a little narrow. It could just be my perception. The bottom of the two main verticals are as far as they can go without making a shelf at the wire tray level do these measurements look right? Andrew

I want to rebuild the cross member for the 545RFE and set it up for the exhaust. can I get rid of the torsion bars and put it back down on the ground later. I know I cant drive it this way but will it hurt anything in the mean time to get rid of them? Andrew

OK Guys, Its hanging. all links are 1.5"with a poly bushing at the frame end and a Hyme joint at the axle. After we hung it and put the wheels on it, the strangest thing happened the axle grew 2". I swear when I mocked it up I had 1" between the tires and the outer fender. Now I have nothing...

I have read in a number of threads that if you go to a posi in an 8 3/4" rear you need to take the center button out of the unit in order for the axles to fit in the rear. Since the button in a regular set up allows you to adjust the end play for both axles from one end, is there any harm in...

Here are a few pics of the sway bar. Because of the different arcs created by the different components of the suspension, if I set the link for the bar at 0* vertical at ride height, it goes to aprox 10* out of vertical at full droop & full compression. Does anyone know if this is within...

Because of the melt down this post disappeared, I had gotten one responce that said 170lb springs were used. I need a spring rate that will be stiff enough for the road course but not to jarring for the trips to shows and cruises. I got the QA1s and the 500lb springs speedway sent me, OH MY...

Has anybody used one of these? HIGH QUALITY ANTI ROLL BAR/SWAY BAR THAT IS FULLY ADJUSTABLE, THIS CAN BE ADAPTED TO BOTH RACE OR STREET APPLICTIONS. THIS IS DESIGNED TO PRE-LOAD YOUR CHASSIS AND TO ELIMINATE SIDE TO SIDE BODY ROLL. TO HELP IMPROVE YOUR 60 FOOT TIMES & TO HELP EQUALIZE...

Ok Here are the pics from todays work of fabricating and installing a radiator/frame reinforcement. Its made out of 2"x3"x1/8" tubing, and I did take some shots right after I cut the piece, but it helps to put the memory card back in the camera. So I had already started to bend it in place when...

If I have this correct the torque boxes go where the nuts connecting the leafspring plates are by the back of the car. There are also two similar pockets by the front wheel wells. Has any body addressed those? What have others done to stiffen the front frame members that extend from the fire...

OK guys lets see if I can explain this well enough without a pic of the connectors before I put them in . I took pics with my wife's phone but the stupid Motorola software isnt working to get them off so I borrowed a camera and got pics after the fact. Some one in another post about frame...

Since the weight of the car will now be transferred to the coil overs I had to build new upper shock mounts that would transfer the weight to the frame. I fabricated the upper shock mounts out of a piece of 2"x3" tube stock and lightened it by taking a third of it out of the sides. I moved the...

I finally got the 7 1/4 rear out and cleaned up the area. The next step is to rehang the 8 3/4 axle on the existing springs so I can get measurements for a 4 link set up. I like RMS's set up but I cant pay $2000 for $340 worth of stuff. I was under the car looking at the installation of a spring...

OK so I will relocate the leafs temporarily in board to the frame rails. Then I will put in a 4link system made by RMS called a street linx. It is also set up for the inboard location. The next question is : is it ok to use a sway bar with a 4link, is it necessary, or harmful. Next has anybody...

I keep seeing different relocation kits for either the A body or the B/E bodys. Aren't the springs the same width? Of course the A bodies are more expensive. Andrew
