RideTech Tru Turn System

[medici78]

For a street car, we recommend -.5° to -1°.

Thanks. What do you recommend on caster and toe for street driving. I know the instructions have specs, but it doesn't specify if that range is for track or street. The product looks and fits great on my '71 Nova (build thread link in my sig) btw!

Anyone else notice how far back the wheels are in the wheel opening? I've checked and double checked caster (+5) and camber (-1), I am running 9.5" wheels with 1/2" less back space because of the issues I've noticed others having with clearance to frame, 67 5.8" pitman/idler, Iroc box Delphi 670, and 1/16" toe in. I actually have two issues. First, tires rubbing the rear of the inner wheel house due to the tires being too far back in opening. Again, I've double checked everything including the obvious, correct placement of a-arms (D for drivers side P for passenger side). Frame has been checked and is in spec. The second, at full lock either direction my wheels are hitting the Muscle bar. This car is almost unusable in parking lots. To pull into a parking spot I have to take two stabs at it.

I'm wondering if I was sent the wrong UCA and LCA's? Ordered these through Matt at MCB and am just getting to use the car after the LS swap. I called into tech and I mentioned the steering stops are on wrong side. He explained that these were to be used with factory steering arms and I would need fab up my own stops for ridetech steering arms. Fair enough, but even with stops set up to keep wheel from hitting muscle bar, I would have an extremely limited turning radius.

Yeah, I haven't driven my car in a while, it's almost done with body work, but I remember the wheels being super close to the rear of the wheel opening on my 69 Nova. And that's only with 245's on 17x9.5's. I already had to take the Hotchkis 1 1/8" sway bar off because they hit it.

[Bad94]

I have been running the Tru Turn since Aug 2011. Yet to have a issue. Will/does the tire rub the frame? Yes I drilled the front of the lower balljoint plate and use and 1/4" bolt as a steering stop.

[DarkoNova]

Oh I wasn't talking bad about it, just agreeing that it was close in that area. I test fit 275's and they cleared, but that was stationary. Not sure if it will be an issue when actually driving it.

I still haven't even aligned it so I'm hoping that will help some.

Is anyone running the truturn and a mini tub, is so what are your backspacing measurements?

[icemanrd19]

What does true turn have to do with mini tubs? Backspacing on the rear won't help you unless you know the rear end width.

[Whooppass]

It has to do with it because I'm gong to be running both and i want to order the correct wheels.

[icemanrd19]

what is your rear end width? What front brakes do you have? what rear brakes do you have?

[Whooppass]

Rear end is stock 12 bolt, brakes are Wilwood, 6r 14" front, 4r 12.88" rear. Wheels will be 18" hopeing on 275 fronts and 325 - 335 rear

[MCB Matt]

As you know, it's pretty risky to order a custom set of wheels without measuring. We loan out the Pro 45 kit to customers ordering wheels from us so you can mock up the actual tire sizes you want and make adjustments that will give you the exact back spacing you need.

The other option is to order the rear end after the wheels but you still need to measure the fronts. Every car is a little different, even when modified and I would hate to see you with clearance issues. We see front clips offset to one side and rear quarter outer lips different all the time!

Thanks Matt, ill keep you in mind when the time comes. I'm looking at the forgeline step lip wheels

Ok, perfect. We sell a lot of Forgelines and they are great to work with! When you are ready, we will loan you the Pro 45 for a week at no cost.

Thanks

The 48 Hour Camaro was the testbed for this new suspension system. It has worked out extremely well, so we are now ready to release it to the world... Also, for a limited time, and only for Pro-touring.com menbers...ask about your special introductory pricing. The TruTurn Steering Package If you tuned in for the 48 Hour Camaro build, you probably noticed that the build team put 10" wide tires on the front and wondered how it was done. Well now the truth is out...it was all made possible by the TruTurn, a steering upgrade package brought to you by ridetech. What is it? The TruTurn system is an upgraded steering system that includes the following: Spindles - taller to improve the camber gain and a raised spindle pin to lower your car by 2" Steering Arms - designed to correct bumpsteer AND allow clearance for up to a 10" wide wheel with a 5.75" backspacing. Draglink bracket - bolts onto oem draglink to relocate the inner tierod end to minimize bumpsteer Tie Rod Assemblies - integrates with your new steering arms and centerlink to provide a tru "no fab" bolt on steering system. What will this system do? Everyone knows the early Camaro/Nova front ends have very poor suspension geometry...the tires lean outward around turns, the bumpsteer is bad, and there is little room to run a wide wheel because of the OEM steering arm interfering with the inside of the wheel. The TruTurn system resolves ALL of these issues...the tires now lean INTO the turn, the bumpsteer is UNDER .050" through 5" of suspension travel, and you now have clearance to run up to a 10" wide wheel with a 275mm tire! TruTurn complete package includes: spindles, steering arms, draglink bracket, and tie rod assemblies Price: $1000 Call in and ask about an introductory price!

Pretty safe to assume the Pro-G tall drop spindle, isn't it? It is the only spindle they offer for a first gen F body.
