Ok I started out this season with a guy telling me if I am going to run rear steer in my car (metric 4 link with 5 holes in lower trailing arm mounts) that I needed to run reverse stagger (left rear bigger than right rear). The reasoning behind this was that it would drive the left rear forward making the rear steer better. Well the season is drawing to an end and I have been tight in the center all along. I go in the corner nice but as I get close to the apex the car starts to drift up the track. I have been just getting on the trottle and with the rear steer kicking in on the throttle the car then turns around the corner and is fairly good off. I am wondering if this theory is just a load of crap. I want my rear end to steer to the right (left rear forward right rear aft) this pushes the car around the corner. If I put regular stagger (right rear bigger than left rear) will this keep the rear end from steering to the right? From what I know from reading around with the reverse stagger (left rear bigger than right rear) the car is going to push which it does due to the coffee cup theory. Now when I get on the throttle the rear steers to the right which pushes the car to the left and it comes off the corner great sometimes a little too good and gets loose. Please give me some help on this.

I'm a little confused with that theory about rear steer that you got,with my experience rear steer on a stock car has to do with steering linkage and where it comes off the spindle. I have 81 Monte Carlo that I run with the same setup and with larger or smaller regular stagger can loosen or tighten the car to existing track conditions and driving preference. Adjusting the lower links in the rear determines how much forward bite I want.
