23 T Altered Front Wheel Death Wobble

(1/4) > >>

Defiance:
Just changed my Altered steering from a rack and pinion to a Strange Altered box and Mark Williams steering setup kit.  The car is a 116 inch wheel base with 10 degrees caster, zero camber and 1/8 toe.  Took the car to the track and immediately had a violant front wheel wobble.  Never had it with the rack.  Any thoughts on where to look for the problem?

See if you can contact http://www.frontenginedragsters.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=262 Don a member here. He had the same problem. I did send him an e-mail to see if he could help you.

Defiance:
Thanks for the POC. I will contact him and see if he can assist.

With only 10 in the kingpin, I would run 1/4 toe & use a Honda MC steering damper.
