[Spridgets] Suspension woes

Front bearing issues are now solved thanks to Peter C.  The problem with the
excessive play in one wheel was a worn inner hub race.  Changed hubs and
installed a new bearing.  Now on to the next issue with the front
suspension.  When I go over ANY  irregularities in the road the car want to
literally jump around and dart every which way.  The car will not self
center on steering (i.e. most cars you can let go of the wheel and the
steering will try to go straight).  All of the suspension bushes, kingpins,
and tie rod ends are new.  The rack was also rebuilt.  Car now has 68 miles
on it.  Is something on the suspension too tight and needs to be loosened?
Rack related? Alignment issues? Trying to get Iris sorted out for the Lake
of the Ozarks.  Cant wait for the mountain roads <VBG>

 

Thanks

Leo
