Car pulling driver wheel slightly more, also launches to the left. How do I adjust my I have a Wolfe drag bar. How should I adjust it to solve this problem. The car wants to pull to the left when I launch.
Here is a pic of it from last week. It looks to me like the drivers front wheel is slightly lower.

thats exactly what i'm thinking , wouldn't preloading the driver side give it more "bite" thus pushing the car more from the driver side and launching straighter in your case??
+1 on the 17"s up in the air !

any updated photos or videos to share? You might also try 1/4 turn to lengthen the link on the passenger side. Best to hit the track and see how it effects the 60ft, but on my nova I only ran 1/4 turn and it left nice and level.

Thats very interesting... The last time I went to the track mine was doing the same thing. I figured it was the 2 year old tires, but I may have to take the preload out too. Got new tires, hopefully I will get to go racing again soon.

The settup with in the pic has ballast added because it was not hooking down track. I took it to the track last night to try and get the suspension right without the ballast. The ballast where 340lbs. It was spinning just before the 60ft with the ballast out.
I turned the front shocks tighter and changed the rear to 50/50. The car came out smoother, no longer lifting the wheels much, but it spins off the line sometimes now. It don't spin down track now, but spinning off the line is just as bad. By the end of the night I had the front shocks turned all the way back to loose. It still spun sometimes. I wish I could get this suspension right where it will hook without the ballast all the way down the track.
I think what it was doing when it was spinning down track was coming up hard and then taking the load off the back tires whereas now it is pulling the front up a little and holding it up all the way down the track(I don't mean off the ground, just up), but spinning off the line now.
any ideas?
