Always finding upside to crappy situation. Well alomost always.

Had a issue with car last weekend always [pulling hard right. Had few say rearend out, So knowing no way in hell our since measured 100 time during build, I checked it anyway. found out was right.

Two upsides, 1 removed doubt of rearend location.

2 GAVE me good reason to intalln new shorter lighter wheel stud along with aluminum nuts. Not alot of weight but parts been on shelf for few months now. Plus spending that much cash (shouldn't but can not help myself) for lighter parts and using them might be a sin.

So there is my upside. Now if get narrower wheels and tires with correct offset I can remove good amount off. Running 14x15 wheels that bought off member at grewt dea; but had to add spacers for offset. Lightest spacer made still 12 oz each. Remove 2" on each wheel and tire combo has to good amount too. Oops more cash so maybe the down side?

makle that 110 rerarend location checks, Yes I mean the one in the car.

9 found zero difference first one heart attack. 1st ad bar across motor plate measureing to axle, Bar bent about 1/8 over 5', 1st readiong off almost 1/4". Flipped and off other way.Told wife needed boobs to face to revive. yea no help there.LOL Got have some fun with this ****."


Hard to translate this from your other thread on same subject but it appears that you are saying a bar bent. Hmmm. Why would a bar bend?

And you always complaining about spending money on your car yet you spend money on aluminum nuts and shorter studs etc and do fix the problem of the car going to the right? Will a lighter car hit wall faster?

IF YOU HAVE BENT BARS IT IS BECAUSE OF CHASSIS FLEX. When you have proper bars and design it will not bend. (unless you crash which if you do not get car to go straight will happen)

Never said a bar in chaissis was bent, Said bar checking it with was. Gave me heart attack then found bar bent was throwing measurement off.

Yeap always broke and alwyas buying parts. I know you guys believe in leave it alone, Not way I programmed, Hell if want something not to work on would by factory street crap. Will alwaus be changing something. Maybe nothing more than changing location of soimething, New dash, new cable routing or maybe new nose piece like just built for it. Why is it you can not work on a problem and improve something else same time? I mean one has zero effect on other issue.

Why else have a race car if not to work on?No differnt than my Harleys. tear them apart because they are sitting there and I am bored and want to tinker, Tinker is right word for welding up new bigger tank right?

Why buy lighter parts that cost but add very little to performance? Same reason as buying .125 larger bore pistons with 3:1 more compression wbhich has to add to performance. I wanted them and enjoy buying for car.

Hope axles ok. Almost new 40 spline gun drilled from strange.

Did check rollout as have had issue with right tire growing if left inflated in trailer for long period. Which if was right side would be going left. But around 1/8 difference. Was first thing I checked when got home, checked before unhooking trailer even.Kind of wish that simple and easy to point to as issue.

Believe accumulative slop in shaft and mainly one connection point. Allowing wheel to get a head of input steering along with too little toe setting.

None of which has to do with always trying to find something positive even when started as problem.
