A pinion snubber also works well. I ran factory super stock leaf springs and a pinion snubber on a VERY torquey Mopar 4; /html/land-speed/2003-01/msg00066.html (8,795 bytes)

So we set the pinion angle down about 2 1/2 deg. As it works through its movement it stays within 2 1/2 of straight. Anyway that has worked for me for abo; /html/land-speed/2003-01/msg00081.html (8,857 bytes)

But leaf springs alone do not control it. Glenn Dick J <lsr_man@yahoo.com> wrote:; /html/land-speed/2003-01/msg00084.html (9,091 bytes)
