Your suspension travel will be limited by shock travel, not shock length, is what I think Mich was saying.

If your castor and camber are changing with suspension movement you are going to have issues with "bump steer". I know the Revo engineered that out of their product. I don't know if it is typical for a Savage. Rocco and Tune will know.

The thing is when you push down on the truck the castor and camber change dramatically so maybe its supposed to be that way?

yes worry if there is a dramatic change in toe/camber/castor when the suspension moves up and down, it's not supposed to do that.

I bet you have the turnbucles installed on the knuckles wrong. Actually I've never worked on a savage so I don't know. On my maxx if the turnbuckles were installed wrong then I had tons of bump steer.


Having fun again!!!!
