Hi all mustang heads.
I will post pictures later, but might as well start a discustion.
I have got a pair of global west upper control arms for my 69 fastback.
They call it negative roll, and we did it to make the car steer better.
We used the metal template to lover the control arms.
We also have changed the springs on the front (and rear) to stiffer ones, all bushings are changed.
We also have installed a Borgeson servo steering unit instead of the original servo steering. Tha car is running on 235/15 and 255/15 wheels. Also bigger sway bar.
1. The problem is that the car is runnng like crap. It can not run straight, it will not "self allign" driving it on the road, meaning it will stay in the possition you set the steering wheel in. We have tried many workshops here locally, and no one can figure out how the wheels has to be alligned. Some says the wheels should Toe out, some says Toe in. In my world it should Toe In but how much ?
At the moment it has quite some negative camber. Dont know about the carstor.
Is there some one out there that could help us at bit with this ?
2.
There a quite a lot of steering play in the steering wheel and i can see its in the new steering box. Theres a screw on top of the steering box, but i cant adjust it. It is all new. When the steering wheel are turned to one side and the to the other, there are no play. Only when it has been sitting there for a while. Can you also help out with this ?
As said, i will post pictures soon
Thanks
