All suspension parts are new and even had the box rebuilt. As far as acromion and bump steer I do not know but several people that has watched the car said shocks as well as folks on this forum. I'm just going to start eliminating suspects. For example, if you start with zero degree toe in and your tie rod adjusting sleeve is level, any lift from that point wheels go toe out. And if you have a lot of drop, you will have excessive toe out when landing. Front end shake or steering wheel shake could be caused by worn parts which you obviously don't have; or excessive toe out when landing. If you can check the angle of the tie rod adjusting sleeve at rest and let me know what that is, I can help you trouble-shoot a little further. I have run a body cars with no shocks and have not had wheel shake.

How fast wereshocks going with no front shocks and what purpose was the car being used for 71 demon stock stroke 440/indy ez-1 running 10.10 @ 132.14 mph in the 1/4 and 6.36 @ 107.46 mph in the 1/8 not in the same weekend but It did it then I sold it. 67 Belvedere that worked it's way in the 10's
