Try this, put 2 thinner tires on the front and road test. See what happens. Also could be the steering box. You mentioned you adjusted/had it adjusted. Could still be binding a little without you feeling it.

Not sure how many might be close or available, but I’ll be here weather permitting:

Highway speed being 70 mph+ ? That's where aerodynamics comes into play...... If your car sits level or a little "front high" (large tires may do that), the winds at that speed will tend to lift the front and lower tire contact with the road. Suspension adjustments should correct that, and even tire sizing will play a part. I went with adding a front spoiler, and I've seen some improvement with that as well. P.S., There are tons of OEM options available to accomplish what you're trying to do.

Your alignment guy can get the settings from a mid-70's Pontiac for something specific to power steering and radial tires. Otherwise: Caster should be as high as possible in the positive direction. You'll probably end up somewhere around +1-3* without a stack of shims on the rear bolt. Toe should be 1/16" to 1/8" in. Camber should be .5* negative.

All personal preference. We use spray 9 and a power washer and or hose to clean the areas. Same with painting. Personal preference. We use Eastwood semi gloss chassis paint on the chassis and Eastwood underwood black for mostly everything else under the hood.

I resemble that remark

Thanks everybody.....

Awesome looks great.. 👌

9 years now.

While I haven't experienced what you are having issues with, I had a 76 GMC Short Wide Half Ton when putting meatier tires on, it steered differently. Discovered driver side Frame flexed when turning causing poor steering response. Remedy was applying a stiffener kit to front end driver side Frame (2 metal pieces, each welded each inside/outside of frame). Made it more responsive to my commands but never was perfect. Just a thought................ Doug

Ft end alignment specs changed when all cars came with power steering. Here is an article. I had mine changed and saw some improvement. I also added the Poly bushings but after several years they started to squeak like crazy so now I will replace them with old school rubber.

Wow, and look at her now!

I can fix it! My father is a TV Repairman and has a wicked set of tools!
