What are the specs, if any, for sitting up the front end on a 10 sec. 72 GS? I'm assuming caster, camber, toe in/out. Car has Weld rims and pizza cutters on the front. Are there particulars. The car went straight on the first couple of runs but I wasn't at it's full capability. Thanks in advance.
find a good front end shop, have them align it at least 1- 1.5" higher than it sits static, as much positive caster as possible,and 0-1/8 "toe in. pretty simple :beer bob
Alignment I'd agree with Bob. On factory arm cars I can get 3-4 degrees of caster. Set up for 0-1/4" camber and toe in from 1/32-1/16 inch. Move the front end up and down through the range of motion and make sure it doesn't change too much. If it does check all front end parts to make sure they are all in good working condition and not wore out. Tom
Tom, How do you keep the camber close to 0 throught the travel as pictured in your avitar. Why is it some A-bodies camber changes so much throughout the travel and some others dont. do you use bump stops? I would think not. I am not liking they way the front end looks on my car here in the picture.
Jeff, You do want some sort of bump stop. On the Top Stocker since I can't run an adjustable suspension limiter I have 3 different sized top bump stops that I use depending on track conditions, give me 4-5-6" of suspension travel. On the Super Stocker where an adjustable limiter is permitted I use a double nutted bolt through the factory hole that allows me to adjust the suspension travel. On the Apollo I have added the Baer outer tie rods that can be adjusted to fine tune even more by the use of spacers and a heim joint. With it I was able to get all the bump steer out of the car through the whole suspension travel. They say anything less than .250 inches is good and we got it down to .012.They make ones also for our GS's. Tom
