73 charger squirrley steering
Hi.
Just replaced the entire drivetrain in my 73 charger.
The alignment has been checked twice, but it doesn't track right. It doesn't like to drive straight: kind of like trying to drive on the middle of a crested road, it will try to lean left then right when trying to go straight. Then it seems to have both understeer and oversteer.
Here is my question: the replacement springs have three inches of extra lift, is that enough to be causing this?
I seem to remember a similar problem with my 89 diplomat. The shop doing the alignment said they found that those torque bar suspensions required a ' special tool'. After they got it, the diplomat tracked straight as an arrow.
Any thoughts?.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
EG
My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
