Technical Splitting Bones

IF I decide to go with auto trans on my 40 Foad and use a Speedway split bones kit will have to adjust the caster? If so, how do I do this? Thanks!

 

I believe that caster is set in the kit when you bolt the wishbone to the bracket

 

Thanks!

 

Not sure what a Speedway kit looks like, but if it is similar to a CE like mine, if you need more caster, you will need to pie cut the bones at the original weld. I would install the kit, check the caster with all the weight in the vehicle at ride height, before making any changes.

 

When a person changes the transmission, they often make other changes. Some of these including wheel & tire size and lowering can also change caster.
Kit and car isn't the whole answer to "will it change".
That's why @Marty Strode recommends measuring the actual car, and explains how to fix it.

 

Before you pull the trigger at Speedway, give 40RagTopDown on here a look. Great kit that does the same thing as the Speedy kit and is a higher quality and more reasonably priced. Support a HAMB member.

 

Good idea, Send Gary a conversation and ask him what he used, his 40 convertible sits tight and he has thousands of miles on that car. HRP

Without split bones?

 

Great info, thanks again.

 

Looks like a nice piece!
