Radial Walk
 

My boy is fighting Radial walk.
We have replaced 1/2 to car with
new components. Would a rear sway
bar be of any benefit? Any recommendations
for brand or installation?

Can be a frustrating search

Make sure you don't discount a front end issue causing the walk. I have twice seen it stem from a front end issue working its way back through the unforgiving radial tire

When I put them on my car it had that problem I added a few more degrees of caster and it went away.

Re: Radial Walk
 

Which car and tire combo?

Re: Radial Walk
 

1971 SS/KA 340 Duster
Low 10s when required
Both Goodyear and Hoosier

I know it sounds crazy but toe has quite an effect on radial wobble. Try toeing the front end out 1/8 to 3/16. We fought it for half a season on my buddy's cutlass and it completely went away after moving the toe from in to out.

Toe out is potentially very dangerous.....and trust me I know.... I made a run with that condition and nearly lost it.....

I'd be very hesitant to try that....

No Toe-Out not a good idea!

I know one thing the first time it happens you’ll definitely be awake when it’s over.

A well known super stock chassis builder from Virginia way suggested the toe deal. We wouldn't have tried it if it was anyone else. It worked for us.
