- I'm comming to the "net" as to avoid re-inventing the wheel.
-
- I have an older car - 1976 Dodge Aspen R/T that has seen better days. Not that
- it's that bad but I bought it for my mother who let my brother wreck it about
- 1980 or so. Its set around in verious stages of running but most of the time
- it's just sat.
- Here's the problem. When new as now the car has a drastic oversteer.
- I'd like to clean it up and set it up for a hillclimber. (don't want ANY over-
- steer) Has anyone read or does anyone remember any cures for the beast.
- I have my own ideas, but a short cut or two would be nice.
-
- Ideas:
- wider tires = and about 2 inches wider in the back than in the front.
- heaver duty rear springs (I don't think I can get heavier torsions for
- the front but I'll check it out)
- Quickor engineering anti sway bars
- shock upgrade
-
- okay what did I forget?
- Thanks, Mike Nason
