I'm taking the negative camber wishbone arms off my 77 B. Not going to slalom the car like I thought and not much difference on the street EXCEPT FOR....harder steering. I have dropped spindles and the neg arms...either one not a problem but with both, the scrub radius is changed enough to make it harder to steer when parking, etc.
So I thought I'd snap a couple of pictures for the lurkers who want to know but don't ask questions. You can see the difference in length. HINT: When doing this type of thing on your front suspension, remove the bumpstop first...this give an extra inch for the shock/king pin to droop and makes it much easier to get it together. Also notice that I didn't run the pivot nut up tight until it has load on it.
Now a bit of a rant. I had shortened bump stops and decided to replace those as well. Bought new ones. Guess what...they aren't bent right. GRRRRRR....what should have been a 5 minute job turned into 20 minutes of dickin around at the vise. If they are going to make new ones....why can't they bend them correctly in the first place?
$50 for the negative arms with V8 bushings....1/2 price if you want them.
