      A-body center link on 1st-Gen F-body

      I was wondering if anyone had any experience trying to install an A-body center link on a 1st Gen F-body or 3rd Gen X-body?
      The reason I am asking is because there are countless instances where people are looking for ways to fit wider rims and get shorter steering arms on their camaros and novas, like myself. I have seen a few people try to mount the A-body steering arms, but have had to do other drastic modifications to get the geometry with the raised ball joint location settled.



      I was looking at this picture and was wondering if simply installing the A-body centerlink with the steering arms would create a tolerable collaboration of parts.

      Sort of a Tru-turn alternative.

      its a lot of work, testing trial and error along with money spent on time and parts to get it right.....and that's just the bump steer issues, then you have to tackle the camber curves needed to run the fatter rims & tires, I spent 2 years racing and custom building my own parts, some from scratch and some from vendors all custom modified, I had the chance to try the ridetech tru-turn before I worked here and what took me months of building, race testing and retrying to make the car work great, everyone who drove my car couldn't believe how responsive my car was, and there (ridetech)....one afternoon bolt on solution worked better, the camber curves are good the bumpsteer was great the turn in with the shorter arms was very good in my opinion... just bolt on and go...or you can make your own tall spindle, custom steering arms and drag link...just like I did before I switched to Ridetechs bolt system
