Pulls left, CB experts---help!
Okay, I posted a while back about a left pull, everyone seems to think corner balance was my problem. I got my Ruggles scales back and here's some numbers. Drivers weight in the car, 1/4 tank o gas (I know, 1/2 is better).
I'm pretty confused on what way to go, some say diagonal lbs, diagonal ratios, some say side/side ratios. I only know at this point that I have a left hand pull, oversteer one way, understeer the other. HELP!! :confused: :confused: :confused: LF 528 RF 668 LR 1080 RR 796 |
I had a right pull and after a front suspension refresh (bushings and ball joints) plus an alignment the problem was solved. You might want to look at those as possibilities as well.

Bushings are good, ball joints seem tight, new tie rods, etc. Fresh alignment too, upgraded torsion bars Fr and Rr and after the alignment (specs looked good), noticed the pull. No pull before the torsion bar upgrade and alignment.

I'm not as savy as some on the board, but looking at the numbers you posted sure makes me think your car needs to be re-balanced.
Here's what Thom's calculator says about your wieghts: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...ight chart.jpg |
let me try again:
Ideal Corner Weights Left Right Front 626 569 Rear 981 894 Measured Weight Distribution Total Weight 3072 Front-to-Rear Front 1196 38.93 % Rear 1876 61.07 % Side-to-Side Left 1608 52.34 % Right 1464 47.66 % Diagonal Weight Left Front / Right Rear 1324 Right Front / Left Rear 1748 I used the wieghts you gave.

Yeah, I did that, however, would the specs I listed cause the left pull??
If I rebalance, do I balance for diagonal ratios? or LR ratios? |
Shoot for what the ideal weights say.
