Need some help with steering response
What's up fellas? I have gone though this site back and forth. My car feels good but at high speeds the front of the feels loose almost like the front tires are not on the ground. I like a tight/stiff steering wheel at all times. Any insight on this fix. I will be getting the Zeta Steering Rack & Pinion Mount
I currently have: 1- pedders xa coilover 2-pedders solution b sway bars 3- pedder camaro street 1 package ( rear subframe inserts and front radius insert) |

You can try stepping up to a full bushing in the radius rod but unless you are goin for some track time I'd stay with the bushings you have. How are your xa's set

Rob you did my alignment and the cars drives great with my stock wheels but with my 22's the steering wheel feels sloppy/loose at high speed.

It's weird because with stock wheels the car is good but with my 22's I don't feel comfortable at high speeds. I will look into it. |

Wish I had an answer for you, but do not. I had my stock tires and rims up tp 136 mph one time and was really impressed how smooth the ride was, no vibration and good front end control.

it must just be the extra weight of the 22" rims at speed.
