yeah i was tempted to glue the outer side wall of my tires like my old carpet touring foam tire days lol. we all pretty much run clay slicks or something harder.

You guys see this info on the new steering parts:

The old geometry was pretty aggressive and once you started the turn the car could really start to come around on you. So if you had an increasing radius turn you often time would be turning too much, then counter steering to correct, then turning more to get back in line, etc. The new geometry fixes that. You can still get a lot of steering out of the car, but it is so much more usable than before. I really like the new steering setup in my SC truck, really helps calm it down.

Associated appears to have the right size turnbuckle too as well as lunford, with AE being cheaper. This is assuming its 4 x 50mm turnbuckle needed.

I remember that weird steering issue on my old SCT410.1 I had on long sweepers. Maybe this would help.
