Re: Bump steer
IF angle persists between drag link and radius rod, there will be BUMP STEER. The greater the angle, the worst the bump steer will be ..... simple geometry. Try for initial parallelism between the...

Re: Disc brakes for wide-5 drums
This is true IF you use the BOLING BROTHERS' repro parts - NOT the "SPEEDWAY MOTORS" parts. There have been several problems with the SPEEDWAY drums being out of round. The BOLING BROTHERS' drums are...

Re: 38 ford motor change
Don't allow anyone to convince you that the stock wishbone arms are up to controlling the torque necessary of the rear axle. That robust TORQUE TUBE was named such for a good reason. You'll need to...

Re: Removing perch bolt for repair
Once the perch bolt is removed from the hole, the tension of the spring still mounted will cause the wishbone's perch hole to become misaligned with the axle's hole. This MAY be difficult to re-align...

Re: Brake drum question
Don't get me started about Ecklers. My peev with them goes back to the early 1990s with Corvettes. They're in it for the money, and good at that, for sure!! No improvement since that time. Example -...

Re: 48 Ford rear grease seal snap ring
Very carefully, using one or two very skinny screwdrivers to fish-out one side. Do yourself a huge favor and file/grind the opposite angle on one of the ends (so it's easier next time) BEFORE you...
