Hello guys,
Just thought I would post this thead as I am having some teething problems with a 4" narrowed ball joint beam in my 1970 beetle. I have a few question about it below problem.
I am now enjoing having the narrowed beam fitted and it drives well under about 50 MPH but once I get over that speed the car gets harder to control. The steering doesn't feel quite as stiff as what it used to be (before the narrowed beam) and therefore it is less responsive and the tryes seem to take off and grip on any bump or dip in the road. I seem to bee fighting the car all the time.
The beam is adjustable and is wound down as far as it will go.
My questions are will running dropped spindels help me in this situation?.
I was thinking that if I use dropped spindels I will be able to get a little more travel out of the shocks which will absorb a few more of the bumbs.
Could this all just be the result of using directional tryes and heavy wheels on the beetle?.
Do you have any suggestions on how to stiffen the steering?.
I am looking forward to any suggestions.
