bad handling / driving characteristic after Camaro subframe ! What is wrong ?

Hy all..

this summer i was able to put a few hundred miles on my truck.

Unfortunately i am quite unhappy with the handling respectively with the driving characteristic.

THe truck is bouncing very hard , even with the installed air ride ( front / rear).

In Corners the truck is pushing over the front axle…..

Last week i was at a Football Stadion ….at the parking area the Ground was partly asphalted and partly filled with pepple Stones …

finally there were a lot of pepple Stones on the ashpaletd parts as well.

so after the Football game i left the parking area .. and it was really horrible because the truck was pushing over the front axle like hell ...because of the pepple Stones.. it was like driving on ice (almost :-) )


My Chevy 51 pickup has a Camaro subframe installed. The wheels were aligned by professional shop.

We have installed the subframe like that..

--> Original pickup - frame had have been widened , the Camaro subframe inserted directly into the frame..

Details pls see at the attached pics…

I guess with this Setup the geometry is off..


I hope some of you can give me a Feedback, what the reason could be for the miserable handling


i hope my Explanation is more or less understandable ...i am from Germany and my english is limited :-)

Hope to hear from you soon

Thanks a lot
Achim
