Steering Problem - long
I have a 39 Chevy coupe with a Mustang II front suspension. Over the winter months we completely rebuilt the car mechanicaly. All that is left now is the outer body. I bought the car last summer and noticed that every now and then it would dart off in one direction or another on the highway. I knew the suspension was worn out and figured all new parts would correct it. The car has a 235 straight 6 engine and the front crossmember was notched for clearence. They had also lowered the steering rack about 2".
Now that the car has a new floor welded in there is not enough room to raise the driveline to return the rack to it's normal position. I assume what I have is a bumpsteer problem.
Is there anything in the front end alignment that would help compensate?
Thanks,
