3 link spring in front left rear. I need to add a couple more holes for adjustment on top side of L.rear frame mount. Was thinking about building a plug. How far do I want to move bar holes towards rear ?? Left bar now is 23 1/2"heim to heim-15* Right bar 22 3/4-0*. 5/16" R.R. trail. Wanting to try the shorter L.bar quicker reaction thing. Anybody have any luck with trying this ?? Pros and Cons ?? Thanks=VintageMod |

It does add quicker pounds and steer but if traction is needed I would get it by some other means unless loose in and you can close the rear to accept the change! The right rear traction and drive with a lower left bar than right may yield a better bite as lifting left adds cross in the process robbing the right traction even more! Try a few pounds of lead on the left rear down low as a test as to your needs!

It's done with plays all the time. Make sure to use heavy enough material and you may need to brace it depending on how long you make it

I'll use overkill heavy material and bracing so I'm adding that low & left weight. Anyway, I'm thinking 3" or 4" shorter bar on left. If I don't like it I can take it back off. Going from 9" to quickchange so thought I would try some stuff. The only ill handling problems I'm having with my car now is the nut holding the steering wheel, which be me.

It's never the drivers fault-- even I agree to that making it mine, the guy behind him with a wrench in my hand! They have spring locks for them now but I can remember the night my driver came in and about knocked his self out trying to get the splines to turn loose after removing the wing-nut! A big guy and it hit him right between the eyes full force! Over tightening was the culprit there too! Are you looking to hook harder or more steer? Shorter should do both with less angle if needing both but I have found more traction on the right side made us faster letting right drive turn us left with roll out working without loosing any left rear! Not having steer in the wrong direction in the (drive turn) under power and no steer in the straits with less roll out to slow us or heat the tires in the straights! One tire has to break traction or binds up when going straight! Equal traction when rolled lets you mash on it sooner and harder with out added steer in the process! If it didn't work better, how could we have ever made a 1/2 inch of roll-out with no static steer and 60-80 pounds of static left rear win! A biscuit-ed right bar works good with a shorter left, so they can even out under power and steer more with out roll and even more if needed under braking! It does however require a flatter pull bar angle to keep pinion angle under control! This also needs more steer thrust angle and less roll to control rear steer rates! You still get to drive the front with one hand and rear with two feet! Always back to the driver isn't it! Oh--- the good ole days when no driver ask what I changed this week!!! Good luck on your venture and switch!
