I just weighed my car using a set of longacre scales on all 4 corners. I went through some weight changes by changing engines and adding a few things to the car.

Without me in it, my car weighs 2,622 lbs. I am 250 lbs. so my car adding my weight is 2872 lbs. gained 25lbs being off work and on dissability since oct. I go back to work the 25th, and will drop back to normal soon after, I hope


as the car sets right now, I have

LF 707 RF 639

LR 575 RR 706


I have srange dbl adj on rear coilover ladder bar
strange coilovers on the front.


I need some tips here while I'm on the scales for adjustments. I had a wobble/bobble lft to right in the car about 300 ft out as time went on last year. I checked the car for square and it is ok, but had found my lft rear shock adjuster screw had backed off some. I also noticed that the lft rear spring is wound up tighter on the shock.

My car is a round tube chassis mild steel.

I could use some suggestions on how to start getting this thing in balance again.


. .there has been some good advice in a few post here. think about this from a simple stand point. first ,get all front end settings correct,set all air pressures,set the chassis to desired ride heights-[this is a must do.] then you scale the car in race trim. then you start with trying to balance the front 2 tires with each other,then the rear 2 with each other. then you can add weight to the tire that actually needs more grip. this will get you started..remember that a componet that will not stay in adjustment[a bad part] will run you in circles.
