Are you running Toe-in or Toe-out.....what is the camber settings.....

Many items can cause a car to wander down the interstate.....especially Bump steer.....that’s the second time I’ve said that @nd you have not commented.....

Bob P. at ERA was always harping about his correction of bump steer in the ERA suspension. But when I asked him "what if I run off the road but hit a big bump and that steers me back on to the road?" He said, "well in that case bump steer is a good thing."

I am running 0 toe in the front and about 3.5- 4 degrees castor 25 psi front and 28 psi rear on billboards. I have checked several times the suspension components, the car seems very tight on the road. It seems like the tires are causing a shutter in the front end around 75MPH.

The problem is that every time I want to make a change to the castor I need to take it to the alignment shop. I can easily give the heim joint a turn on each side to see it this helps but I dont know what affect this will have on the rest of the geometry of the front end? What do you do at the track? this is a CSX car so its very easy to make adjustments.

Mike,
Where in the bay area did you go to get your alignment done?
