Straight Axle Front Ends
On my 32, I have the first straight axle I have had on a car. This is a Pete and Jakes front axle with a Vega Steering Box. All new.
I have had the car alligned. I still notice that when I am on the highway doing 50 mph, plus. My steering feels very tight. What I mean is that if I hit a medium or large bump in the road the car kinda of turns or hops on me and I have to do a quick jerk of the wheel to keep it straight. Almost feels like the steering may be too tight? I have a Vega Box. The car does NOT pull or hop at any time other than this.
Over the past 15 years I have owned many muscle cars from the 60's, that never did this. Then again, they were not straight axles.
Is this a common thing for straight axles front ends and I just have to get used to it? Can the Vega Steering be adjusted to maybe allow a little more "play" in the wheel?32 Ford
