| Is there a way to get rid of the torque twist ?
I was playing with trekker ball studs on my rig to gain more flex. Result : the more flex I have, the more torque twist I got and it messes totaly the steering angle. So, is there a good way to negate this torque twist ? Or do I have to choose between flex or stability ? I read somewhere that micro-t springs or upper shocks position could solve this problem. |

Im using inboard shock mounts on my micro, and i had this issue! Iv solved it by odd gaps between the front and rear shocks! So the front two upper shock mounts are closer then the rear too! This has cured alot of my torque twist! Evan with the convert to the 130 big block!

The upper mounts are really close so I got the "pendulum effect". At full flex, rear shocks touch the chassis side pannels so if I increase space between mounts I'm gonna loose some flex. I think it's gonna be big time to figure out how to solve such a dilemma | |

My cure is to just wiggle the tires a bit, it settles it right down. I really don't think it hampers performance, just looks weird.

So I tried on my rig and noticed a good improvement. I placed the upper rear links in the upper holes of the TMC and upper front links in second bottom holes. Still twists a bit but it's much better. | |
