Any clue as to what this may be? Ball joint, control arm? Does not do it on sealed asphalt or when I run street tires. Just on concrete with the Hoosier A6's.

I get the same thing no matter the pavement or tires. But it only happens on my car when I make hard right hand turns. I havent been able to find anything wrong in the front end. Anyone else?

BTW Machismo nice camera setup, what are you using?

Machismo · 12-06-2007, 01:59 PM

A GoPro camera that is a stand alone... no moving parts or cables to worry about.
It is literally smaller than a pack of smokes and uses an SD card and can record up to 45 mins. of vid. It is also waterproof. Contact Terry Fair of Vorshlag for a great deal...around $120 smackers.

Levnubhin- here is another example of its vid qualities...this time I zip tied to the roll bar. With the sealed asphalt, I was not getting the pops. I was having a hard time finding traction period.

nice run Machismo, car looks quick

levnubhin · 12-06-2007, 02:21 PM

Thats pretty cool, i like how it dosent pick up wind noise.

Machismo · 12-06-2007, 02:24 PM

That's because I'm faster than the wind....HA! Yea, right. :wink:

FooSchnickens · 12-06-2007, 02:55 PM

Sway bar links or a-arm bushings more than liekly.

slutz4 · 12-06-2007, 02:56 PM

sway bar links is prolly my guess, Id loosen them up a bit and see if it helps

Machismo · 12-06-2007, 03:28 PM

O.K. Will do....I'll keep ya' posted. I'm fearing the old control arm bushings as that is the most money that I don't have right now.

FooSchnickens · 12-06-2007, 04:14 PM

Well you can always buy some used a-arms off another car, have the bushings pressed in, and then put the arms in yourself and save a bunch o' money.

Machismo · 12-06-2007, 06:16 PM

yea, I do know of a parts car around if the control arms haven't been gaffled just yet.....there are only three presently so that just leaves hunting down one more.
Def. will save time and money.

your swaybar may be binding. is it aftermarket?

Machismo · 12-17-2007, 08:34 AM

^^^ Yep, it is....Racing Beat fronts and rears with adjustable links. If it is binding....what would be a good solution? Also, is it better to install with the weight of the car on the suspension or not?
Thanks for the help.....
