Anyone install a Mustang II rack on a B body. I put one on my road runner and I am a little disappointed in the amount of turning radius.

The arms have to be shortened to allow the rack to give full radius. That will also give you a chance to relocate the end for proper bump steer. If you have swapped them side to side to put the rack out front, no other mods, you will have severe tire scrub going around corners due to wrong ackerman angle. Also, length of the rack center section and rods has to be correct and all items properly located to get the bump steer right. Check the Mopar chassis manual for info.

I put a Mustang II rack in my Demon and the first time I had it at the track I almost ran into the corner of my trailer because the turning radius was so crappy! I've been moaning about it since I installed it but don't seem to be getting much sympathy!
