Re: HELP! Death wobbles happen unless Wheels toe out

Moglux, i agree and think research is a big part and thats why when you look at my build thread there is countless research questions and links on getting the SOA right. Its all part of doing modifications is to change things to get it right.

Re: HELP! Death wobbles happen unless Wheels toe out

Thanks Tom, but all i can find are dampeners to replace mine that connect to drag link. Where can i get one that connects to diff and tie rod or do i just have to make a custom bracket to suit normal dampener?
