    Metric bump steer w/pinto spindles

    What are the proper length spacers to get me "close"? Metric chassis, metric lowers, metric drag link, pinto spindles.

    I know that a Camaro drag link helps, but IMCA doesn't allow them.

    Thanks

    A good place to start is 1" lf and 1 3/4" rf if it has the chevy pickup lower ball joint. It has to be checked on a car to car basis, because ball joint lengths, upper a arm lengths and angles, spindle reaming depth, all play a role in the camber curve and movement of the spindle, which is what you are trying to match with the tierod arc. A stock metric drag link makes the tierods too long, if you are running a short enough rf upper to get much camber gain. That is the reason for the Camaro drag link.

      Yes, I run the 6117T lower ball joints. Thanks for your help.

        There's a line in there that says idler arm, pitman arm, and center link must match frame. I probably wouldn't get caught at my home track, but if we travel for specials, I'm sure someone would notice.
