Wally,

I'll try and make the adjustment both ways.

But, as a thought, have you tried the offset sway bar bushings? They pull the sway bar pivot forward, which will pull the lower control arm forward and afford a little more caster. I have those on my 1302, and don't have any issues with striaght line stability (upto 100 mph). If you 'overdo' caster, the steering gets really heavy. Depending on your wheel size and steering wheel size, it can be a bother.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Lanner

Cool, its always good to have adjustment possibilities.

yes, I already have those installed and it does help, but it could always be better, especially if you have 18" rims with 225/35 tires

Hmm, I didn't know/realize that. But you never know or 'feel' when you've gone too far if you don't have adjustability in that department
I'll be watching your progress on this part with much interest.
Thanks!
Walter
