Vettes have bad bump much beyond 1" to 1.5" of travel. On a race car you really never get there as it tends to be so stiff so I will likely not have a real issue. It is a notorious problem on lowered Vettes as guys will drop the cars by backing off the ride height screws - nothing gets relocated and essentially the car is now riding around at say 1" of bump as nominal. Now when they hit a bump and have 1" of motion, it is more like 2" of motion on a stock height Vette and the tires steer quite a bit.

It just drives me a little nuts to have bumpsteer in the car even if I will likely never experience it I moved the pivot point around a lot with adjustable bars I fabbed up as I was measuring the bump (starting with the pivot point exactly in line with the LCA inner pivot) and where it is now I have up to around 1.5" of bump looking pretty good now, but I know I could cut that arm off of the spindle and relo it and essentially get zero bump over 3" of motion. Is what is as they say.

Sounds like a great idea... of course that means all three of us have to actually finish

I remember when it was said the other one got out of control and this one was to be a car you can beat on..... I guess you are going with going out of control and beatable at the same time.

I did beat on it. Then it beat on me back. And then this all happened. And it's everyone else's fault.

Good to see you on here Nick. Hope all is well.

Yeah that seems to be an awfully common problem 'round these parts.

So I'm trying to get my boy Doug over here to Lat-G but he has this killer Winston Cup framed Chevelle he just got moving under its own power for the first time. These maiden voyage videos are always cool and this car is just killer in my book.

Ya, that's badass!
