Description
Global West Suspension manufactures Econo-Track kits for the 1967, 1968, 1969 Camaro. The components featured are Global West Del-a-lum bushings, offset control arm shafts, and upper and lower ball joints. Note that these bushings are a direct replacement. Simply press out the stock bushings, including the shell, and then press in the new Del-a-lum bushings.
Econo-Track-Kits from Global West Suspension are great for street and drag race applications. The kits are legal for many classes including the following: Stock (also called Street), Super Street, Super Stock, Mean Street, Extreme Street, True Street, Open Comp, and any of the ET classes.
The Global West Advantage:
When you install the Del-a-lum bushings, they are used like a bearing. They provide smooth movement up and down without deflecting fore and aft. They reduce drag in the front end, allowing the front to raise and transfer load rapidly.
Tech Tips:
In addition to the bushings, Global West provides offset upper control arm shafts in the kit. Offset shafts allow you to increase caster and still maintain camber.
Why do you need more caster? Caster provides straight line stability, and it reduces bump steer in the 1967-69 Camaro.
For example: Let’s take a 67-69 Camaro, the stock alignment using stock shafts and control arms is caster 0 to 1 degree positive, camber 1/2 a degree positive and toe-in set at 1/8 to 1/4 in. The optimum setting which is achieved using our tubular arms is 6 degrees positive caster, 0 camber with car raised 1-inch during the alignment, and 1/32 toe in per side measured under deflection.
There is no way you are going to get those numbers with stock shafts and arms. That is why you want the offset shafts. Offset shafts will allow you to get around 3 1/2 degrees positive caster, if not a little more, and still maintain camber.
For street performance: The settings required for street alignment using these components are: Caster 3-1/2 degrees passenger side, driver side 3 degrees, Camber 1/2 degree negative camber both sides, and set toe-in to 3/32 total.
