Left side percentage too high (another rookie question)

[grt74]

Yeah I'm sure moving the power steering pump etc to the rear would help. I'm also running the old standard steel bell housing. We tried it. Car turned pretty good just extremely loose from the center to exit. Now once again this is probably my 10th race in a late model so a lot of it could be driver. Also, last night, I found that the driveshaft was too long and the yoke was bottoming out, which probably didn't help.

if your a new driver i highly recommend learning to drive a free race car before having a fast tight car,and here is my reason why,it teaches you to hang on to it and keep it under you,if its a real tight car,you have a ton of traction but when it does break free its in a split second and you better be ready for it ,if not its a wrecked car(most of the time),most of the young guys i have helped try to drive a car with setups way to tight and they end up not trusting the car to turn,then the bad habits start,
like someone else has said have someone thats very experienced with these cars to go over the car,then drive it and get it close but free and start from there,and as always make it fun,your not going to win a ton right out of the box,it takes time,good luck and have a blast

One simple way to reduce left side is to run wheel spacers on the lefts. They make quite a bit of diff on the %s!

It wont help the rear %, but it will help with forward bite.

I'm still pretty new at setting up late models and have limited experience compared to alot of guys on here, but I'm surprised how low your rear percentage is. Is your ride height set according to the book too?

I had a good friend take my car out after one of our local racers this past year to get his opinion on how the car setup was. I was struggling that night and wanted to know if it was the car, or me. He drove it while I watched him go out there and run laps as fast as the leaders were that night. He came in and told me it was just a touch too tight, but otherwise felt really good. So that made me go to work on myself and figure out what I was doing that needed fixed.
