Thanks a ton guys! Appreciate the kudos! Like I said in my first post this car is a dream come true and trading the CETA for it was no brainer... That car was fun and fast but this one got me three thumbs up before I had driven it a mile. THAT is kool...


I figured out the suspension issue today. It boils down to a WHEEL issue more then suspension though.
The wheels just don't work. They have slotted lug holes and are NOT hub centric. That means there was NOTHING centering the rims to the hub. They were slopping up and done on the lugs as they were rolling...
This is what I found when I pulled the left front wheel off:
1) Three lug nuts with mostly stripped threads.
2) Two broken studs..
3) ALL of the studs were loose in the rotor! The wheel had been knocking around enough that the lug studs had worn their respect lug holes to an egg shape! ALL of them!
4) The spindle nut was loose by almost a full turn.


I pulled the caliper, removed the rotor and knocked the lug studs out with some very light taps from a ball peen. Not a BIG ball peen either.
I took the rotor to my local CARQUEST to figure out what I needed.
We matched up to a 1969 Camaro or 70 to 73 Nova (X body). I ordered two...
A set of R-2 and R-6 bearings.
Brake pads for a '69 Camaro.
The rotors will be here tomorrow.
Now I need wheels and tires! I want to stick with the Torque Thrust look... What do you guys think? 15's? Or go 17 or 18?
Thanks for looking!
