Tex, I normally race in Competition with my other cuda, but at National events I'm in the Super Sedan class. If I'm in Super Sedan, i generally race the car in this vid as I can get better RT's on a full tree with this beast.

That yellow Satellite at 21:30 has some funky stuff going on with the front end. A lot of cool cars!

That is a typical stock Mopar front end

It can be corrected by working on the tie rod bars and lower control arm attaching heights: wrench:

That’s not regular bump steer. Something is way loose in the left front. Strut rod bushing, lower control arm bushing, cracked K frame.
