Still the stock suspension with a few up grades.




The reason I asked was, I noticed the bump steer issues have been corrected in your other video. I am looking to address some of this stuff this winter. Any helpful tips? I was going to use the DC chassis manual.
Thanks, Beep




We boxed in the lower arms and tightened up the t-bar pivots, Reiley motorsports soild strut rods and upper control arms with heim joints,11/16 tie rods and PST adjusting sleeves, firmfeel pivot pins and poly bushings and new upper and lower balljoints.I have pics if interested.




Please. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Beep

Why get the pins? What's the advantage over stock?

One thing I find amazing is the high quality audio these things produce, even under a race car. Normally the microphone is completely bombed out and the sound is horrible.

The microphones on these have plenty of headroom so they dont distort.

The stock pins have a step built in so the inner steel shell of the control arm bushing will fit. That inner shell is NOT perfectly round. The firm feel pins do not have the step so it fits perfectly inside of the bushing without using the inner shell. They are also greasable. Stock pins are almost 40 years old so they had been on the car long enough.
