23 T Altered Front Wheel Death Wobble

<< < (3/4) > >>

Defiance:
Thanks for everybod's input.  In particular, thanks to S&W Racing.  We spent a lot of their time discussing this issue.  Their input and willingness to help goes above and beyond.  A top notch, truly professional orgonization.  Bottom line, is we discovered our pitman arm was too long.  Secondly, we added a steering stabilizer and moved the location of the steering box.  Although we have not done a test and tune, I will make a few passes this weekend before Coastal Plains has their big race.  Ill keep everybody posted on the results.  Again, thank you.

U should be OK.
My Spitzer has s rack, with multiple uni joints and it has gone into the 7.20's @ over 180mph.
Steers real nice.

Can I ask what your car has for a steering wheel? Mine has a D shaped wheel. I haven't been down the track yet but it feels like it's going to steer too quick.

Defiance:
It also has a small D shaped wheel.

Not so good news. Was getting the car ready for T&T.  Lost oil pressure.  Checked the oil and found metal.  Looks like ill be missing a few races.  Update will have to come later.
