i have been using one for three years now, very close to headers. when i was pushing into garage the steering was making funny noise, when i turned the steering wheel the tires didn't turn. turned out to be the rubber near the top was slipping, put a bolt thru that part where the rubber was...

on my 1988 monte ss i have installed UMI part # 3035 front 1 1/4" sway bar, tighten up the front end a bunch. 3044-275 UMI rear sway, this bar attachs to the bottom of the axel tube of the rear end, works great and easy to set up. using the UMI upper control arm #3056, this has the adustable rod...

running at waterford hills race course, waterford, mi, 1 1/2 miles, fourteen corners, two straight aways, about half the corners are negitive bank, that was a learning curve i remember well. i am going to try the mid ohio course this summer.

by using the 90 camaro centerlink i was able to shorten up the tie rods by an 1 1/2", and put the tie rods \\ parallel to the ground. the position of the hole for the inner tie rod is a lot lower than the stock centerlink in this center link.. should help bumpsteer.

i am trying a new steering set up for 88 monte.. did the math on parallel steering (stock set up) 5 degee pitman turn left (8 degree at tire) came out 5 DEGREE TOE OUT (that is 2 1/2 inch toe out). inches are half to degrees. 10 degree left turn (13 degree at tire) 5 1/2 DEGREE TOE OUT, fifteen...

the math seems to prove out that a little reverse ackermann on the corners results in a lot less slippage that pure ackermann. that was with zero toe, i will start with a quarter of degree (1/8") out per side would give a really good toe in the corners. in a couple of months i hope to check out...

after a lot of checking and ajustment i went with 10 degrees outward on the idler and 10 degrees outward on the pitman arm, that 10 degrees is what the 1990 camaro center link gave me, worked out to be around 10 degree TOE IN, not good. did the math and check the alignment from 10 degree at...

reverse ackermann, the angled steering arm produce a reverse ackermann, since i don't have any angled steering arms, i went one step further by angling the pitman arm and idler arm outward 10 degrees each, actually this 10 degrees is what the 1990 camaro centerlink gave me to work with. this...

5.3 degrees of toe out can create a lot of heat in a long race. my track has 2 straight aways, and 15 turns, right and left

what i ended up doing was using the reverse ackerman geometry to compensate for the large differance in the slip angle between the inner and outer front tires during high speed turns... with the true parallel setup you will start at 0 degree toe and by the time you get into 15 degree turn of the...

when you are making a left on a reverse camber turn the track is trying to make your car go off the right side/// this was quite a learning curve... next year mid ohio road couse

on the road course at waterford hills , mi, there is a 150 foot differance in heights on that 1.5 mile race track, and then they throw in the reverse camber turns... the first time i ran that track i was backwards several times.

this is a little differant set up, you go fast turn left, on a road course you go fast turn right, go fast turn left for 15 differant turns and half of them are reverse camber turns.... those reverse camber turns are a b*tch, you are turning right but the bank is throwing you left

as you are looking at the pic, the to the left of the centerlink is a lot thicker than toward the right, makes it look like it is running downhill. i have more pics, these are very close to be paralelle, 1/32" going by the ruler, and once i sit in the seat that will change. the guy helping me...

but it did give me positive ackerman, and helped the bumpsteer.

i will not be able to measure bumpsteer till my buddy gets back from spending winter in florida, he has the front end machine and tools to measure bumpsteer. probably be winter here in michigan another 4 months.. i should be in florida.. AFCO sells a centerlink #30271 ($90.00) similar to this...

i have had my 88 monte out a couple times since relocating shocks, no problems. the asphalt is a little cold so traction is not that good, but i run it hard. the motor started out as a ZZ430, then i jumped up a size to a howards hydraulic roller 230/230 480/480 lift, i did put 1.55 arms on...

88 monte, raced on the waterford hills road race course, waterford, mi.... started out as ZZ430, fastburn heads.. upgraded cam to howards hydraulic roller 230/230 duration 480/480 lift, put 1.5 rockers on intake, 1.55 rockers on ex so pumped lift up to .497 on ex, needed some help on the I/E...

that 3 1/2" bolt does not include the head
