356 front lift

Im looking for some help to solve a front end issue with my 1962 356 b. At speeds over 70mph the front lifts and feels very light, a full tank of fuel does help a little.

The car currently runs on the following; new adjustable shocks set about half way, Vic Skimants camber regulator, 19mm roll bar, 195/60/15 tyres on 15-5.5 wheels and the bushes etc seem ok.

I think I once read somewhere about machining front suspension parts to give the front wheels a negative camber or I might be making that up....

I may just be looking for a big bag of cement.....

Thanks in advance

Simon

Seems you've done all you can there... mine's very similar but the lowering helps a lot. I can't see neg camber helping too much but a bag of Blue Circle ought to help - many rallyists did the same! :wink:
