MOPAR stock front suspension is crap. Excessive caster gain, massive bump steer and a torsion bar. Really? Tanks and trailers have a torsion bar suspension. I don't recall seeing torsion bars on any late models or NASCAR cars. Hmmm, they seem to tak a lot of corners at high speeds effectively.




I've bump steered my Barracuda, and I don't have massive bump steer. Pretty close to what a new Challenger is. Have you bump steered your car yourself?

Caster gain typically comes from anti dive in the upper control arm. Stock coil spring cars have similar anti dive angles. There are templetes that alter caster gain by removing anti dive (guldstrand templetes)

Can you show us the measurements of the Caster gain on a stock:
1970 Chevelle?
1970 Mustang?
1970 Camaro?
And compare those measured on popular Mopar models?

Porsche 911's had torsion bars up to about 10 years ago. Sprint cars all run torsion bars.
