41 110 club coupe Suspension and Scary first drive
Posted by Pat and Melanie Westerkamp On 2017/11/8 12:24:28
Hello guys I have a couple of questions and need some advice on where to start.
Went and drove the car the other day to see if i had it road worthy yet.....well no i didnt, I had a dog run out in front of me on the drive, i was going about 35. So i think to self this will test out the brakes i just bleed and replaced the MC on.....holy shit i hit the brakes and the car lerched to the left towards on coming traffic....so i react and turn to the right, thats when i noticed it took almost a full turn of the wheel to get the car to start to react to the right. I then pulled over and took a few deep breaths and cleaned out my shorts.
I had the wife turn the wheel back and forth while watching the steering box, box was tight and secure to the frame.
Sooooooo where do i start with the front steering?????? im pretty sure braking lurch is the right brake cylinder is bound up ill go through those next......but im not sure about the suspension. When on stands balljoints/king pins seem tight and tie rods seem good. Im new to Packard so is there somethings i should check or starting point so im not throwing money down the drain this weekend any guidance would be appreciated.
