    Just test drove a 31 2dr sedan that I built and am having a problem with a low speed tire wobble.. Axle is back 7 degrees, 1/8 inch toe in, anymore makes it worse, cowl steering, arm runs at the same angle of the front wishbone.. Any suggestions???

    1/8" sounds a little high.

    Hundreds of posts about this on here. Search "Death Wobble" or "Caster Wobble".

    Unfortunately you probably won't find one definitive answer but there are sure a lot of leads to chase up.

    Borrow some rims and tires, and try it again. Some tires seem to have a twist to them, they just won't work on some front ends.

    After reading posts about my problem I looked at the Speedway draglink and could easily flex the link by hand, grabbed a piece of .187 wall 7/8 o.d.tubing from my material rack, cut and threaded each end, replaced the piece from speedway and back in da road she went.. I tried to look for bumps in the road to make her go crazy again and didnt even offer to do the "death wobble" with me.. PROBLEM SOLVED!! Thanks for any help offered up guys, hope this helps anyone else having the same problem
