The 510 Realm

While I think of it...as you are a very technical person...here is a link to a book that was one of my bibles....in learning about suspension. https://www.erleague.com.br/_files/ugd/e67bfd_ecc23522a9eb448495593a8885d72b56.pdf?index=true How to Make Your Car Handle is filled with lots of basic inform...

Morning Rush, Glad it seems to be working out! Just a thought on adjusting your front toe setting, next time if you do, make sure have your equivalent weight in the driver seat. Also, tires are HUGE in how a car feels...and handles. I'm sure you are aware of that. Sears Roadhandler All Season tires ...

PHEW...is right! After 3 days of no sleep, engaging the latest super computer " FRONTIER", to the point that the U.S. Military has called me to back off ( they needed it to figure out how to hack the Japanese Sushi shop in Beijing), and, my wife said I need to stop making life size cardboa...

Wow...that is it...I have not seen one of those in 45 years, all of our stuff has been in place so long.

So weird....

If I see the picture correctly, you have an after market isolator there for the spring, it look like a funky cone of some sort? Again, the stock one was a rubber "donut", approximately 1/2" thick and flat. The the ground end of the spring sat flat against that. Is it possible that thi...

Sorry...preload would be if one of the heim joints had to be pulled up more to get it bolted up. This would then load the other side even more. It does not look like that is your issue but good to be aware of as part of understanding suspension. That you say the car was like this before sure says it...

That right hand spring does NOT look seated onto the isolator, or...it just does not look the same as the other side, spring coils look further apart?! Spring(s) in the right way...sure they are but the flat ground should be UP and the open end tucked into the small "notch" in the bottom o...

Are you sure there is NOT a rubber isolator stuck up top on the high side?, like there are 2 there? Maybe missed it? Are the crossmember large mounts equal on both sides...IE spacing....? That it was like this before....says it has to be something in the subframe/control arm area. Can you see any wr...

510 Day 2024 Friday, 510 Day, was both a good day and a bit of a sad day, for me. I left my daughters garage at 10:45, planning to hit Mission Raceway by noon, to help Andy with the motorcycle track day he was involved with. I made the mistake of going out 16th Avenue, which was beyond stupidly slo...

Control arm bent?

These things with no modification can bend quite easily.

Are you sure the right hand side shock has not bottomed out? Just a thought.

You would have noticed a difference in the spring height...diff spring rate?

The car was not like this before...right?!

Give the car a bounce on that side and see if it has travel downwards.

I have spent the last two days testing the car. fresh fuel in, so I can boost with confidence now. Adjusted valves, they were loose. Adjusted carb a few times, went to Specialty and had Andy listen to a "noise" and check valve train, all good. Took it for a good spin today and some traffic...
