Thanks Joest, The training wheels are already on. No more crashes on top of the wall. Again THANKS for everybody's help and THANK YOU Joest. LR

Thanks Joest, It has a poly bushing on the cross bar with 2 links that go up to the heim end. I keep the links straight up and down. Is the only way to change the IC is by to moving the front LCA mounting point up or down? The way it is set up now is the rear is the only point that can be moved...

In what respect are the lines different? LR

Thanks Joest, Man it is simple when you can see it. I want to thank everybody that responded and helped with my questions. Now maybe I can run with the training wheels pinned up. Thanks again everybody. LR

Thanks Joest The strings would be running forward from the rear axle.In the car the lines running forward are going away (farther apart) from each other on account of the angles. The string for the LCA's is a slight angle and the string for the TA is at way more of an angle upward. I am putting...

See post above also-- this was an after thought. When I drop the line straight down from the TA front mounting point and it intersects the LCA line that is the front to rear IC. At this point how high is it and what do you use as a reference to measure the height? Ground to ? CG height? If I...

Thanks Joest, If you run a string from center of rear axle through the heim end center on the front of the TA, then run another for the LCA's the lines will never meet carrying it to infinity. Actually the angles are going away from each other. The LCA's are a slight uphill angle(2*) and the TA...

Thanks Jason, Yes it is an aftermarket TA. The front mounts where the tunnel brace was mounted and on top of the cross tubing with 2 links that pivot. It is about the same angle as stock but don't mount to the tranny. The rear mounts in the same way as stock,except it is mounted to a 9" Ford...

Thanks Joest, I have all that down pat.What if the lines do not intersect? If ya draw a vertical line from the TA down to the line of the LCA's this is the IC,correct. OK but at what height is it? Is it the attaching point of the TA or is it some wear along the line? Correct me if I'm wrong...

Jason, I made longer links for the front,which has a heim end,and raised the front mounting point 1-1/2" from where the original mount was for the aftermarket TA. Then I readjusted the pinion angle back to 2*. The TA has never been parallel to the ground,it has almays been angled up at the...

Thanks Joest, The training wheels are already on. This car has been very consistent over the past couple of years.We have run this track most every weekend so that's a given. The car was the same as it's been for the whole year with nothing changed but air pressure. We went up 2# so it would...

Thanks Jason I moved the TA up 1-1/2" and the car stood on the bumper and came down on the wall. Nothing else was changed including the pinion angle. This leads me to believe that the height of the TA has a lot to do with bite. The LCA's were lets say running a parallel line to the TA and had...

I got all of it(I think) I have been trying to treat it like a 4 link but nobody has said what raising the TA does if your lines are parallel.Or lowering it and the LCA's to make parallel lines .Where is the IC and using what to reference the IC.

In my last post Greg and Norm got me to understand the IC on a GM torque arm suspension. I think I am up to speed in the IC,thanks Norm and Greg. I am still failing to understand what the TA height(raising or lowering) does to the IC when you have parallel lines with the LCA's or they just wont...

Thanks Norm We did not get a great amount of damage here but it will take several years to correct the damage done east of here. I think I've got the IC with parallel lines. With the links setting dead 90* to the ground and chassis,how did raising the front of the TA put the car on the...

I have it,but it is hard to set up the TA suspension with it. It does a pretty good job with 4 link and ladder bar's and looks to be OK for IRS. There are a lot of inputs and some that have to be figured out, but they have good support to help. Larry

Been fighting a hurricane and had no time for reply. Thanks Norm. The line from LCA's and TA were almost parrellel and didn't have any crossing point before I raised the mounting point..When I raised the front link mounting point,that seperated the two lines more and they could not have ever...

I still don't understand what raising and lowering the front mount on the TA does and why it effected my car with a wheelstand? It has to have an effect. Larry

Your help and everybody's help is greatly appreciated. I couldn't edit my previous post. Larry

Thanks Norm This is a '94 Camaro with 687FWHP,11" slicks. The TA has a heim end in the front with a strap on each side to attatch it to the frame(body)where there is another heim ball. The rear of the TA is mounted solid ,with an adaptor bracket.When first installed it appeared to run about the...
