today for a complete 4-link update. New rod ends and a re-squaring and scale. I've darn near wrecked this thing so many times this year I just had enough. So right after work I'm heading south to salem oregon to Vanderbeck race cars and dropping it off. I can't wait to see what he finds out.

Yes Kerry Vanderbeck does great work. Have used him in the past. So guess what? We unloaded the car and right off the bat he has it up on his scales and goes "I don't know how you where even driving this thing"! The right rear was 100lbs off. So he is going to replace all the hyme joints and replot the ic so this thing will go straight again. It was all this or buy stock in depends. Btw is it march yet?

Well Kerry has it finished. I get to go pick it up today after work. I have a few other winter projects I want to do but most of those are all small?

Several things? One like we suspected all the heym joints had wear so they are all new. The old ones where the 4130 but had many seasons on them.
Second why this got so far outta wack I have no idea but it did. The left rear had 100lbs more weight on it than the right. Now the right has ten pounds more with me in the seat. After all the weight I have removed from the front of the car he made a huge change to the 4-link tune up? What that is I have no idea he had it wrote down on a tablet and like an idiot I didn't get it but the bars have never been in these holes ever!
The car now weights 2986lbs with me in it. Was almost 3200lbs
LF=841 RF=685 LR=724 RR=736 Cross%= 47.1
rear%=48.8 left%=52.4
He helped me baseline the shocks (double adjustable afcos) as I had no idea of where to even go with those. We added alot more rebound dampening he said the car seperated way to easy when it was pushed down on. The whole feel to the cars rear suspension is now way stiffer.
I don't know what this thing is going to do but I was getting 1.32 sixtys with the mess I had. I'm expecting something quite different next spring.
