Handling Questions.

[Ziegelsteinfaust]

I read the make it handle thread, and learned a few new things.

You can improve a camber gain by moving the lower a-arm forward 3/4 of an inch. What if one moved it a inch forward is it better or is 3/4 is the ideal.

When doing a drop is it always necessary to move the cross member forward 1" forward to center the wheels? Or does the cross member mod change that.

You can only move the control arms so far before the rear bushing starts contacting the crossmember. You can read more detail on it here:

You don't absolutely have to move the wheels forward when you do a drop, it's just more noticable with a drop. Doing the above mod will center the wheels better.

I meant although a bit poorly stated what if the relationship was 1" difference vs 3/4.

Would that be better?

Or is 3/4 of done because of the ease of the mod.

With the 3/4" mod 5.5 deg is supposed to be attainable, on no limit's 72 c10 they moved the lower ball joint forward 1" and I think they got about 7 degrees.

With the lower control arm mod you are only moving the lower joint so the amount the tire moves forward in the fender is about half.

I did my 86 1" forward and got 7.5 degrees dialed in for caster.
