Calmini Death Wobble!!!!!!
Damon:
My guess would be tracking.
Can't you get a free tracking check where you are? Mind you, if the tracking is that far out you should be able to see it.
Get the drivers side front wheel perfectly straight and then look at the N/S wheel and see if it's pointing in a different direction...........
rollazuki:
Front axle(inc diff) angle wrong, causing steering to over self centre, and giving the well known 'SUPERMARKET TROLLEY WHEEL' effect.
On a link system with adjusters, pretty easy to dial out, on a leaf set up, Im guessing wedges between spring and axle will help to rotate axle back to normal.
Are springs fitted correct way round? are correct shackles used, did springs come with kit?
Give me the full run down of what you've fitted and Ill try to give you an idea, in the meantime, dont run it on the road!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DaveHenderson:
I’ve fitted Calmini +3" springs, Calmini bigger shocks all round, anti-roll bar extensions, new poly bushings and a big pitman arm, o and I’m using stock shackles.
It all came new as a kit from la supertrux.
I had to file down the pitman arm a bit to fit the steering damper bracket, and i painted the axles.
when it happened it did feel like a out of control shopping trolley :!: :D
There are some pics of the springs/ pitman arm on my photo section.
i looked at the tracking, and it does look a bit out but not much.
Thanks :D :D
generation-x:
dave for starters bin that anti-roll bar it may just be the problem as well as it will be over flexed
and as rolla says the axle might be rotated slightly too

jaeger:
i had the same thing its called bump steer, it not so much the speed your doing its a tiny bump in the road that starts it off once you are moving over a certain threshhold..
my castor angle was all cocked up, so i fitted slightly longer shackles to the front which rotated the kingpins slightly and cured it, adding wedges/shims at the back/front of the leaf spring plate should do the same thing...
