Good information, Neil . . . I like your idea. But on that car the front
shock towers are sheet metal flexi-flyers! I don't know how his roll cage
contributes to front end rigidity but, assuming no reinforcement, we need to
consider how load changes geometry. When measuring shouldn't your method be
statically loaded to get a better representation of the dynamic conditions?

. . . You definitely want to see how your wheels move over the full range
of your suspension travel to make sure nothing bad is taking place. As an
alternative to the sandbag method, I'd suggest you get your Camaro up on
jack stands and remove the front springs. Regards, Neil temporarily in
Ouray, CO
