Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I have to modify my oem subframe?
No modifications are necessary at all.
Can I use my existing OEM spindles with this system?
Yes, the G-Body Tru Turn package was specifically designed to work with the OEM spindle
What is "bumpsteer" and why should I be concerned about it?
Bumpsteer is a term that refers to the control arms and the steering linkage moving in different arcs as the suspension moves through its travel. When this happens the tierods will move the steering arms (and therefore the wheels) in directions that the driver does not intend. This leads to an "uneasy" feeling car. Some OEM cars (especially older musclecars) can have a lot of bumpsteer...as much as 1"! Imagine the toe setting on your car changing unpredictably as you go down the road! The Tru Turn system nearly eliminates this situation...the bumpsteer is under .065" through 5" of suspension travel. This leads to a very stable and comfortable feeling vehicle.
What is camber gain and why should I be concerned about it?
Camber gain refers to the rate of camber change the spindle will see through the range of suspension travel. With most OEM cars (especially older musclecars), the OEM suspension geometry will lean the compressed wheel OUT when turning. With the TruTurn suspension the compressed wheel will lean INTO the turn, keeping the tire squarely on the ground thereby offering more lateral grip AND offering a more stable turning experience.
