If you still have too much steering I'd stiffen the front bar and/or increase the tension on the clamp of the front diff.

Good luck.

I don't know if I have too much steering. I would say that I like the way the front works and I will adjust my driving to suit the car. The car always seemed to have a push that I didn't really enjoy. This is a whole new experience for me. I am not a very good driver (yet) so I think the steering will help me. So if I want the front to stay relatively the same but I want a little more traction in the rear, can I get that or is it a trade-off between the front and the rear? Is it simply that the front is so tight that the rear can't keep up or are there adjustments I can make to help the rear without hurting the front? It maybe that the rear is good but I am over-driving the car? It's hard for me to tell.

Justrace, I need your help. Are you available this weekend?

BTW, I used to think brakes were over-rated... not anymore.

Thanks,
jag
