Reply to "Ride hight"

I'll see what I can do, when the snow melts. Maybe revisit those old articles in the Newsletter. The biggest source of funny steering problems seem to occur when you change the front ride height- even removing the front coil-over spring spacers will do it. The rack moves up/down with the body relative to the ground while the rod ends are fixed in height off the ground by the wheel and tire sizes.

Rack spacers do two things because that surface they bolt to on the front of the trunk floor is at about a 45 degree angle. So rack-spacers on a front-steer Pantera move the rack forward which changes bump-steer and Ackermann-toe, while they also move the rack down, which also modifies bump-steer. Hard to keep all this stuff straight in one's mind unless your name is Dallara.... And of course, street guys may not even notice.
