4 link has not been touched since the purchase of the car in 2016. The car has always worked flawlessly. No reason to ever touch it. It was a freak deal I cannot explain. The car will be corrected and fixed and will be at Earlville next week.

Wyatt I was just answering the persons fix. Can't answer why it changed. Maybe a heim joint or a front end bushing. Beautiful car and sorry for the small technical let down.

No need to "eat crow" SDS !! Teardown is a complete dog n pony show to preserve the "I care" image !! Bubski remembers the SSnDI mags of the day at the ford dealership with the dry erase board of who's "in n out" n there was a lot of people out unlike today !! Teardown is only a numbers game today !! CC's , bore , stroke , casting #s . Bubski could go on but id rather not !! What Bubski is saying !! is that in stock you don't get counted for grinder strokes across your heads n intake !! Only CC's n valve sizes !! N never cam journals !! That poor fella who got bounced for wheelbase !! What a joke !! Did they measure his wheelbase like a thrust angle alignment ??

They checked it with some homemade tool and a 10 cent tape measure. They measured 3 times and got a different measurement each time. Ask to take all four wheels off and measure that was to get and exact measurement. The response I got was “your still gonna get the same result. See you later”

Were you able to roll the car back and forth and then recheck it? I know the car does some great wheel stands has it ever came down hard that could of bent the lower control arms. You have done a great job driving the car, keep it up and put this behind you. Tom

I got tossed by Wesley at a Div 4 Meet in 2008. probably saved me a crash. The Rt. Front strut and lower control arm had issues. Could roll it back and get about 1" more than when you pushed the car forward.

First thing I thought of. Dummy wheel inserts with a cheap tape measure!! I had an issue years ago but I set my wheelbase with plumb bobs and a level concrete floor. I ended up lengthening my 4 link bars a 1/4" more afterward so wheelbase would comply with NHRA apparatus. I would've pulled a wheel. And last time in the barn I looked at NHRA's burette. Medical grade??!! LMAO, don't ask. Hopefully changed by now but sounds like if they're still using that antiquated wheelbase apparatus!!??!!!
