I know there's a way to make the front wheels on a GM a-arm front end stay square through it's range of motion...I'm tired of mine pulling in and fighting themselves going down the track...All the stockers I see wheelsup and their front wheels are straight up and down...I assume it's in the control arm shafts, so who makes these?

Joey,
It sure is fun doing those wheel stands. A little messaging here and there to control arm length, bump steer, some graphing and tie rod lengths should do the trick. I know there is some literature out there on fixing exactly what you are going trough. I don't beleive there is some magic part available to fix it. I have some info on LSA front ends I can get to you. Mine is not to bad so I really never messed with it just Toe in through travel. Or Maybe it is and I just don't know about it. Mike |

A 1/2" taller upper ball joint will just about cure all of what you are describing as well as give you a little more front end travel if you need it. That's what I did to my Chevelle. I have mono ball joints in mine like would be used in circle track cars, but we have also used the Howe Precision Ball joints in a .5" longer length in a buddies car and I liked them better. Check out scandc.com. They can build which ever joint you want instead of you having to buy the stock length joint as well as a longer stud and switch it out yourself.
And I know there are stockers out there that use this very method for curing what you are talking about as well as gaining front end travel. |

Travel is NOT what I need, I got it limited from 5.5" to just under 3" now and it still wants to go for the bumper...Just want to keep my front wheels more square.

You can limit the extra travel with your limiters or taller bump stops. The taller ball joints will be the easiest method to fixing the geometry issues.
