Wheelbase.......right side vs. left side

[Seaman66]

If I remember right i read on here somewhere, where somebody had mentioned having the right side wheelbase longer than the left side wheelbase. Is this true? And if so, how much longer should it be and why does it need to be longer. Right now I'm sitting at 111" passenger, and 110" driver.

what type of rear susp. does the car have? the answer will make a huge difference in the replies you might get.

Most 4 bar cars trail the RR a little.That really is a seperate issue from wheelbase. Most newer cars have the front clip turned some which makes the right side longer. The rear end should be measured off the longtitudal center line of the car. Your chassis builder should know how to tell you to square the rear from the trailing arm brackets.

Its a three link rear now. originally built as a sway bar car by steve kosiski

I had a car by him , i think if im not mistaking are kosiski built cars really close to a Harris but with a metric front stub ? without knowing what your running for stagger
i normally trail the RR by 1/2 inch to start so u would want passenger side 111 and driver side 110.5 and go out and turn a couple of laps see how the car is and adjust from
there

Originally a swing arm car not sway bar

Shortening the left side will help the car to turn left. Just as if you put a large caster split in the front end.
