CRC CARPET KNIFE -i cant keep my right rear tire on the ground when making right turns. turning left is fine, when turning right the car whips around so fast it will make your head spin. it wasnt spinning out-more like making a tight bat turn. while doing so you can hear the inside rear tire lifting and spinning. i spent the better part of the day at the track with people much more expierienced than me trying to help me out-we tried everything. tweak is fine,brand new wheels,diff,bearings,dampener tubes-i mean everything we could change or adjust we tried. no luck. the only thing i could think of to try(ran out of time) was changing the front springs. i was thinking that if the left front spring went flat it could let the right rear tire lift when turning right.has any one else seen this before? could bad front springs cause this? what about tweak springs?
yes front springs wear out and colapse. I had that happen to me a couple weeks ago and i set my tweak with digital scales. couldn't figure it out to save my life. the other thing is check for bent hinge pin on the front and a bent axle. the last thing envolves taking the car off the chassis and putting it on a piece of glass to make sure for fact there is not tweak in the chassis or that the chassis has fatuiged and gone soft. had that happen after a nice tumble down the straight two weeks ago.
