howdy!
im new to the list. looks like a great forum.
got a Q for the folks who run vintage, front end heavy/engine cars...
gotta 1971 AMX. we just put on a bigger front sway bar, citing push.
school of thought....
bigger front bar to keep the rear planted and throttle steer with
the rear. we know that understeer is a fact of life with these
front engine heavy cars. is this a sound approach?
or.....
a bigger rear bar to try and keep the front planted?
alignment is an option as well, but right now we are looking at hardware.
any input would be most appreciated. :)
regards,
terry
