I have had an on-going problem with my Assoc. 12L3, that is the car doesn't want to square-up coming out of turns. It wants to continue to turn as I begin to ease off on the radio wheel.

A thought has crossed my mind that the front end may be binding when the car is under a strong side load, preventing the car from squaring-up coming out of the turn.

Asphalt track (So Cal Raceway) and I currently do not use any lube on the damper plate or on the front suspension componets.

My Question is this: Do you serious 12 scale guys lube the kingpins to prevent binding? Does this issue sound like something that is caused by a lack of lube?

What is the therory for lubing the kingpins and damper plate?

I see CypressMidwest on here....always enjoyed you ideas! Any comments?
