Can someone suggest a good computer program for the front suspension for a Mopar.(70 E-Body) The ones friends have are Chevy based circle track programs and don't like Mopar dimensions when inputted. I'm planning on building my own K-Frame , front steer, possibly with a rack, keeping the torsion bars. Just collecting parts now. Winter project
Thanks Brad

Thanks for the reply. Nice program. Is it just me or it doesn't allow for leaf springs in the rear? I'm trying to find something to position a rack?

Yeah, for front only... or put it another way- it was intended for import autocrossers, so strut and SLA only. Actually I first ran into it on a forum for making Locost (Lotus Seven replicas)...

That is a cool program but it does not provide info for rack or tierod placement. You could use it plot in your stock points to get an idea of where to go but you will need a program with more capability to plot the rack and bumpsteer points. Look at Suspension Analyzer From Performance Trends.
