Yep went to test n tune. I made about 5 runs. Each run i would get to the 60' and have to let out cause the car felt like it had both back tires lug nuts loose. (they werent) it was just bad wobble and floaty on the rear. After I got brave and tried a nitrous launch (also netted a new best 60' of 1.713) I had to let out big time for fear of meeting the wall.

Got back in the pits, crawled under the car to check everything out.... think i found hte problem on my right upper control arm...

Oh i'm also going to take the car to svopauls shop and replace the bushing and also weld up the trq boxes

I got the Energy Suspension Polyeurethane Bushings for the rear and Tokico 5 way adjustable shocks, big difference. Keeps everything planted.

Scothew

umm that was polyurethane bushing from in my granatelli control arms. I am thinking a spherical bearing is in my near future :P

Scothew

oh and most people forget, slicks + 6,000 rpm clutch dump = abuse!

Really? :scratch:

Sorry about your luck, but congrats on a 'new' best 60' time.

Considering . . things could have been much worse.

A couple of beads laid down is always a good idea. Are you going to keep the same control arms?

Good thing you didn't put a cement racing stripe on the side of your car...

You are driving it like you stole it

conv_stang

man 6K??? ouch, no wonder your control arms are falling apart!

I would use a certain word but the language filter.....wow....let me know how it goes. That's crazy stuff. I wish I had the nuts to 1/4 mile mine. I just don't want to break anything.

Scothew

The control arm is fine.. its just the bushing. Lets just say that the 1.7 60' launch was definitly a 10 on the pucker factor
