Thread: ladder bar ajustment

Tweet

i would agree check the tires 1st i fooled around with a set of old tires on my bucket when i 1st got it going and it would pull to the one side, found same series tire different brand different size.

About a quarter of the way thru this season I was having a real tough time when my car launched, it took a violent left turn and damn near drove me into the wall. After measuring both tires, one was found to be 1/4 inch larger than the other. We were making chassis adjustments, shock adjustments, and wheelie bar adjustments to try and figure it out. AFter putting on a new set of tires, all of the problems went away. We also found that our pressure gauge was off by 2 to 2 1/2 lbs.

You need to get an adjuster kit for the ladder bars and install it. Then you can pre load the right side to compensate for torque. If you scale the chassis the right rear should weigh between 60 to 100 lbs. heavier that the left.The reason for the large weight differences is that it depends on how stiff thw chassis is. The stiffer the chassis the less the pre load and so on. Frank @ ECD Performance Products
