Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
Bow on the package.........LOL.......A nagging little issue that I had with the car since it was put together was that it had a slight tire squealing issue when making a right turn......after numerous alignments and seeing the results that everything was in spec........I accepted it as being normal with the Ridetech suspension........The car rode and handled perfectly, just that slight squeal ..........So.......After installing the same suspension on Gary's 65 and didn't have any tire squeal at all.........Hummmm!!!!!!!......So....after finishing the Chevelle....the Impala has pretty much been sitting in the garage.......But.......I had to resolve that issue...After calling Ridetech and explaining the issue with them and thinking that it might be a Ackerman issue...we checked a few things and I was told to count the steering wheels turns in both directions off of center.......Duhhhh!!!.......1 1/2 turns to the right and 2 turns to the left......When the car was first aligned.....the steering box wasn't centered in it's travel when aligned.......thus.....the tie rods from the drag link to the steering arms weren't the same length ........which resulted in the turning radius error and thus the slight tire squeal..All fixed now.......LOL.....Sheesh.........This car stuff is Hard!!!
