Thanks.



Hotchkis said it was not needed when they did their suspension geometry analysis and plotting on the A-body platform.


It's done on the E-bodies to remove anti dive that helps improve bump steer.


I measured bump steer with a real bump steer gauge on my A-body 68 Barracuda. It has Hotchkis setup with the A-arms in the stock geometry.

The Bump Steer measurements were very good without even adjustment. 0.055" at 2" compression/dive/bump is only less than 1/16" So my finding seemed to match what Hotchkiss determined.
