Steering

[grzsports]

i am going to replace all my steering components. Was wondering what everyone has been using or has anyone tried the speedway modified center link?

That won't work on a street car. It is designed to reduce the bump steer only the right side tire, so it is great for turning left, but doesn't help much if you ever have to turn right.

It should probably say something like that in the description, but nobody could sell snake oil better than Speedy Bill.

I bought one to try and it puts the steering wheel at a weird angle and both tie rod sides are different and I said "this is not going to work".

For "improved geometry" the Howe Adjustable Center link is the stuff. It will take out most of the remaining bump steer in a G-body that is left after tall lower ball joints take out a lot of it.

That centerlink is for roundy round cars left turns only.

To make it work for the street you would have to cut one tie rod.

I bought it years ago and no where did it say it on the website.

I posted a review of it stating what it was and they took it down.

I would never support SPEEDWAY MOTORS ever they are a bunch of lying cheating fooks.

America's oldest speed shop my @ss they went out of business years ago and then reopened.

America's oldest speed shop is S&S Speed in Queens, NY!!!!

I just went back together with all Moog USA stock replacement parts.

Speedy Bill banned my dad from his shop in the late 1950's (when he was in High school) . I think he called him out on some of his BS and got banned.

During the same time frame, dad became best friends with Dick Wells (also from Lincoln, NE), who later was the founder of SEMA, so dad has a knack for picking the right people to be buddies with. Dick would give us the grand tour at SEMA and of course knew EVERYBODY. My wife and I were married in Vegas during the SEMA show in 1995.

I have put on tubular upper and lower control arms with taller ball joints. So basically there is not anything that everyone is using or suggesting just go buy one from the local auto store, except for the howe adjustable one.

If you are going to go with Moog parts, look at buying them from RockAuto. They drop ship directly from the manufacturer and you can't beat the price.

With tall lower ball joints and stock spindles and a lowered stance, I think you'll find that over a normal range of suspension travel, bump steer is minimal with a stock center link.

I bought the adjustable centerlink because I was using tall B-body spindles and normal lower ball joints which lowers the outer tierod location in relation to the inner and causes additional bump steer.

I have my tie rods parallel to my lower control arm which controls bump steer.

I was looking at the spohn front assembly kit also. But I will look into the rock auto. Thanks for all the info
