<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: kwhizz</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Bow on the package.........LOL.......A nagging little issue that I had with the car since it was put together was that it had a slight tire squealing issue when making a right turn......after numerous alignments and seeing the results that everything was in spec........I accepted it as being normal with the Ridetech suspension........The car rode and handled perfectly, just that slight squeal ..........So.......After installing the same suspension on Gary's 65 and didn't have any tire squeal at all.........Hummmm!!!!!!!......So....after finishing the Chevelle....the Impala has pretty much been sitting in the garage.......But.......I had to resolve that issue...After calling Ridetech and explaining the issue with them and thinking that it might be a Ackerman issue...we checked a few things and I was told to count the steering wheels turns in both directions off of center.......Duhhhh!!!.......1 1/2 turns to the right and 2 turns to the left......When the car was first aligned.....the steering box wasn't centered in it's travel when aligned.......thus.....the tie rods from the drag link to the steering arms weren't the same length ........which resulted in the turning radius error and thus the slight tire squeal..All fixed now.......LOL.....Sheesh.........This car stuff is Hard!!! </div></div>
Another update........We are getting closer..........Two things.........First, I still had a Brake issue......and after having others look at it for a fresh perspective........It seems that the Vacuum Booster supplied in the kit from CPP was too small and I didn't have room for a bigger one....so ...the car is at Frame-up Street Rods getting a Hydro-boost installed......That should take care of the Brake issues.........Then I still had Ackerman issue when turning the car.........After talking to Donnie at Frame up it would seem that the only thing left that could be causing a problem would be if the steering arms were incorrect........Mark Webster sent an extra set he had to compare them...........Again.......The Nu Yawk factor came into the picture.....LOL........Wrong steering arms on the Nu Yawk Survivor car..........Those crazy Nu Yawk guyz will do anything for a laugh.........Now.....After 3 years we will finally get the Nu Yawk out of the car......(I Hope)
