Hi All:
Trying to learn what I can about the racing Spit6. The builder passed in 20=
17.
Anyone know why the suspension setup would have the passenger side tie rod =
"nut up" while the driver side is the stock "nut down"?
Seems that in order to do this, a driver's side arm would need to be instal=
led on the passenger side for the taper to be on bottom instead of the top.
The manual indicates that the stock installation is nut down on both sides.=
=C2=A0 I don't want to put it "right" if there is a racer's reason for it.
Thanks,
Mark "Silo" Fisher

It may be they were addressing a bump steering issue from the extra weight o=
f the 6 block.
What would change if you switched it back? Tie rods should be as level as po=
ssible.
