Default Re: Camaro drag link issues

Ramair, I looked at the Chevelle drag links and yes it is the same. The problem is the Camaro tie rods set too far into the link causing it to hit the idler and pitman during a full sweep of the suspension. The other thing I noticed was the tie rods are closer together with the Chevelle link. The Camaro, tie rod adjuster (turnbuckle) would not work. Had to be shorter. Guess I will buy the correct idler and pitman arm. Thanks.

Yeah, sounds like you might have some mismatched parts there. Should be able to get it sorted out without too much issue.

Parts are on the way from Steve's Camaro's in San Bruno. Maybe this thing will feel better at speed now with correct parts.
Thanks Dave.
