Suspension help

When you say wandering, are you sawing on the steering wheel or are you feeling the instability in your seat?

Slight steering wheel movement, more like a feeling of the car floating around. It also wants to move to the right when i lift at the top end. Prior to the roll bar being installed it was much more of an easier ride. It used to run nice and straight with a relaxed grip on the wheel.....now I keep a firm grip on it.

I am going to have someone take a picture of it at the finish line and figure out how high the front end is and when getting it aligned have the front raised up to that height and set camber at zero,toe as close to zero and caster positive about 5 degrees. Does that sound anywhere near right?

Phil, I've sold a number of the BMR Xtreme Sway bars to CMDR members.
Check out the pictures from last weekends race @ NED on Actionracingphotos.com

Rick Kagawa is "Dead-On" about Alf Weibe's supension system!

Call The "Golddigger" Jim Boudreau for an alignment!

When making any turn the body leans over greatly. The rear had one air bag on the right when I bought it and the front end lifted the left front off the track and the right stayed on the ground. I installed an air bag to the left and ran about 15 lbs on the left and about 30 on the right and it picked both front tires about 8 inches on the launch. I would like to update the suspension front and rear but I am curious about the way the car leans(scared the heck out of the local fire dept at one race on the turn off!). I have been told that the lower ball joints must have been lenghtened for the car to lean like that. Is that correct? Also notice that when the front tires are off the ground they appear to be straight not cambered in or out like so many cars I have seen. Is this set up good or bad.
Thanks to any and all help you gentlemen can give me. Not looking to set any records just want to be competitive..........lot's of luck!!
