It's a clear argument for poly control arm bushes is what it is.

Rubber is fine my backside.

You do know he is fitting a Procharger next? ;)

No Rubber bushes here. We have adjustable tubular uca's on heim joints, Alloy adjustable struts also on heim joints (at the "K" end). The only poly bush is in the lca. Figure it needs a good set up. We got +5 castor, 0 camber and 1/32 toe in @ +1 ride height but the hub arms where heated to bend them up when I had a different set up. Car is stable at speed but cross winds will effect it. Best MPH is 142.5 and @ 3830lb race weight approximates to a 850ish HP motor. Thanks for putting them on the MMA site :thumbsup:

It feels like the wheel hardly moves, I know it shakes but it's all over quick in real time :lol: . Think I'll be replacing the steering box and the drag link idler arm over winter. I really need to get the chassis sorted before the procharger goes on. Though tagging it to 7.50 is a whole different ballgame :roll: .

Oh and if here's some slomo of Paul Rossi's old superstock challenger it does the same thing. Apparently it's a common problem with stock style mopar suspension. The only way to truly eliminate it is to go to a coil over strut front :cry:


Cheers.

Looks scary when it lands,Mines totally stock on the front apart from 90/10 shocks,but saying that doesnt pull a 3ft wheelie =P~
Might be them bias belted general grabbers on the front Tig

Seems to be a common problem, I have seen video footage of Hemi Dart and Barracuda super stock cars doing just that.

can the caltracs not be adjusted for a milder hit,
as i understand it wheelie looks good but compromises the et ????
