A Body Front Suspension Tricks - 10/16/11 02:31 PM

I read a post a week or so ago about some problems with an aftermarket front suspension/k frame. If I recall, the original poster mentioned they went back to a stock type front end and said they did some Super Stock tricks or something to that effect. Got me wondering what tricks do most guys use, Super Stock or otherwise? Just curious.....

I put RMS tubular upper arms and adjustable strut rods on mine. This leaves it with only one bushing in the front suspension and that is the lower control arm. Previously it had poly bushings in the whole front end. When I tore it down it had been in there for 10 years or more. It took alot of effort to move ONLY the upper control arm through its motions. With the new RMS stuff I can move the whole assembly through its travel with one hand.

I haven't had much track time with it but it drives like a dream on the street and track. Lots of postive caster helps with that I am sure. Between doing the front suspension mods and running a drag radial on the rear there is really not much to do after I pull high gear other than hold the throttle down.

Randy the biggest thing to check would be the toe curve
so it doesnt go toe out during the travel(thats BAD)
