Thumbs up Re: 66 Nova alignment

Eddie never got to meet you but always enjoyed watching your cars run. You could always tell who ran your front end versus stock . Enjoy life, family and racing Eddie.
God Bless

Have you, or any one else, ever aligned a Chevy 2, using stock parts, and no bending arms, or relocating pivot points, etc, that has 5" up & down travel, without any toe change whatever? My kit will accomplish this! The kit is a bolt on set up, that requires no changes at all to the rest of the stock suspension, just bolt it in, adjust it as per my instructions, and go racing.

James,
I did not want to get into an argument over this subject! You are correct in stating, that any good front end tech, using stock parts, can align a 1968 & newer Chevy 2 front end, like the 1969 that you race. The 1962-67 Chevy 2, is a totally defferent ball game. Just ask anyone that races one. Having said this I will sign off now as we are not talking about the same thing.
Good luck at the race's, Eddie Rezac

Eddie ,I believe James also owns an early Chevy II SS'er. I don't know who built it originally.
James, this is easy enough to settle. Just post a picture of your steering assembly.
We're going to assume then ,that it has stock length tie rods, center link, steering arms,and idler arms. Just a regular alignment , like you'd get at the tire store.

Eddie, you know you can have a logo posted here, as part of your sponsorship package, right?

Mark no magic. Just stock front end other than qa1. Shocks. Nothing to see
From what I understand you need to check Aligment at ride hight
No expert just the nut behind the wheel. I own a 1967 nova. And a 1969
I may no something

Question about bump steer?
When the front wheels come up in the air and come down and they wobble like crazy for a few seconds is this what is considered bump steer??

No, most people call that a "Death Wobble". Bump steer is the toe change that occurs when, the front wheels travel up ,& down, which in turn can cause the tires to scrub while going down the track, with even the smallest movement, of the front end action. Thus, the need to correct this so there is no change in the toe, what so ever! Just setting the toe to ride height, on a Chevy @, and many other cars will not accomplish this.The toe on a Chevy 2, can change as much as 2", in 5" of up & down travel. My kit will fix this problem.
