Locker causing pushing in turns...

[JRouche]

Great!!! Sounds like your car is far along. So you have the bars in place, and they sound like a good match. You could increase the rear bar some but I wouldnt at this point.

I would drive it and see if it becomes more predictable. Meaning more comfortable to recognize its character.

As for the locker. I would have one over a limited slip (which I have). Just my opinion.



To be honest I think you are in good shape. I like to have a loose car VS a pushing car. But thats just my stupid driver feel. I like the excitement. Cause I am actually faster with a car that tends to push a lil, I drive it deeper and faster, wear more tire off, burn more brakes up unfortunately.

But a "heavy" feeling car (understeer) will make me feel like I can take it further and hotter into and during a turn than a "light" oversteering car.

Kinda like the car is on ice skates when oversteering, quick and very responsive, but Im working hard to not fall (spin out).

Where the understeering car feels like Im driving though tar, a lil sluggish, but then Im not afraid to give it more power and power my way through the turn. Just as long as I dont get haired out and throttle lift and get some snap back.

Anyway. Its a fine line. Over or under steer. But I will always tune my car on the side of understeer if I can. Tires and brake pads are cheap compared to fender panels and control arms (curb whack). JR

The car is a b-body mopar

1.125 front sway bar, 0.875 rear sway bar. All of the bushings are in good shape.

Tubular adjustable front control arms, set up with -0.75 deg camber and 4 degrees caster.

In the rear I am still running the leaf springs, with the addition of afco front spring pivots and solid shackle bushings.

The leaf springs and front torsion bars are stock and probably need to be replaced with some stiffer parts...will do that when I can save the funds. I would like to run the fiberglass monoleaf springs in the rear when I do get to that point.

I have QA1 stocker star shocks at all four corners.
