I am running a 02 mastersbilt I am running a 4/4 with 400 spring on lf a 6/3 200 on lr , a 3/5 250 on rr and 5/12 with 350 and switched to a 425 on rf. my car sets down and pushes on entry cant turn it but fine coming out of the corner. I have ran this car for 2 years and my car is always been tight on entry. any help would be nice. compression first on shocks, also the rf shock goes from 3 to 6 comp. another thought would where I have weight on the car make it do what its doin to.
Where is your lr shock mounted? Have you tried to trail brake?Quote:

Have you checked how the rear end is squared to the car? What are your weight percentages? What are your rear 4 bar lengths? What are the alignment numbers? The springs and setting don't seem that bad to me and for it not wanting to turn it almost sounds like the wheelbase maybe longer on the left than the right.
my lr shock is behind the rear end with a traction shock in front,i have my j bar 8 inches up on frame and 2 from bottom on penion, I have the rear end what masters calls for as far as the location I think 16 or 15 3/4. my top bars are 17 1/2 and bottoms are 15 1/2. my percents are almost 55 rear left side is like 54.4 and rf lr is about 54 I think I have to get my book and see. As far a the wheel base I run 4 or 5 inch off set all around. ive tried running the left rear forward some about an inch and moved it back to equal and now my dad wants me to run the rr forward an inch not sure what that will do
What hole do you have your right lower bar in? That has alot of input on entry. Lower, tighter, higher frees it up
Need to have both top bars the same length and both bottom bars the same length. Mastersbilts are either 17" or 17 1/2" top bars and either 15" or 15 1/2" bottom bars. 5" offset wheels all the way around to start, 54 left and 54 rear is a good starting point. Shocks are a decent baseline, Springs 525lf 425-450rf 250lr 225rr is what we had pretty good luck with. If the right side bars are shorter than the left the car will be tight in.
I have noticed one thing about my car is I have a lot of weight on it to make the 2400 limit. I have a huge piece on the neutral bar but its facing to the right side of the car and 2 pieces over the rear end and a few pieces in my driver door. could either the big piece or all the weight in the door be causing this push goin in. the car is not really tight goin in just feels like it sets down on the front end and scoots
anybody got any more help
I don't think where your weight is the the issue with corner entry. What holes are your 4 bar rods in?How much travel are you getting on the RF shock?
Whats your traction shock setting? 6th Coil spring? Go to a 225 or 200 RR that absorbs weight from transferring to the RR tire on entry and will help turn the car. Add more RR shock compression for sure like a 4.5 or 5 setting. 54.5-55.5 on the LS and 54.5 percent rear with around 80-150 on bite maybe less depending on Horse power.
traction shock was set in the middle at 20 clicks out of 40 6th coil is a 400, so if I keep the softer springs on just beef up the compression. on the right side.
with the 350 or the 425 I was getting 3 or 4 inches of travel on the right front, I had my left side bars 3 holes down from the top on both and on right side 1 hole down from top on both
