EH Update Part 3 | Steering & Suspension Problem Solving

[@79series]

Ah man, all the small details shows never show thanks for putting these vids up I could watch them all day.

[@ProShop1]

Thanks for watching. We’ll keep them coming.

[@Robertpalmer-b5z]

its amazing to see how the old holdens in the dry parts of aussie still have most of there steel.the old holdens didint fear so well in the moist nz climate.my grand dad bought a brand new hg station wagon in around 1968 he still had it in 1985 when he passed away.i have fond memories of that old wagon

[@AndrewHill-v4d]

Sorry mate I didn’t realise you’d actually use a different rack and you counteracted the problem. Good on you. Good video. You do know what you’re talking about. It’s great.

[@mwhitelaw8569]

SHOP DOGG!!! bout time man! Glad we don't have your regs up here Half these heaps would be scrapped Cheers!!

[@hespie1]

Great work as always Pete.

[@chrisx2026]

Great video. Honestly think its the best one ive seen when it comes to explaining front end geometry. Love the custom work too

[@ProShop1]

Thanks Chris. Glad you like it.

[@amraceway]

@@ProShop1 Fantastic explanation, Thanks.

[@paulornothingexperience]

Heard some thing I’ve never heard before in this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@brushitoff503]

Good stuff! It'll be a seet ride once it's done. Hope it passes rego easily now. Cheers

[@ProShop1]

Cheers. We shouldn’t have anymore problems now so it will be on the road very soon.

[@stephenborg4105]

Beautiful work Peter… 😊

[@ProShop1]

Thanks Stephen 🙏

[@stenchcivic1515]

Great explanation. Keep them coming

[@ProShop1]

Cheers. Will do 👍

[@davidhippisley-v4u]

Hi mate I am building a 54 packard and need to do similar to you the width is 1270 from ball joint to ball joint I cannot take my front end out

[@speedking72]

Great work mate 👌🏼

[@dilligaf2818]

very cleaver

[@dilligaf2818]

i just watch most of the vid again...unreal.... serious skill and craftmanship.

[@jwoogunfug]

What a gem of information. I have more confidence to do mine now. What block is it & wich comador rack

[@ProShop1]

Thanks Frank. It’s a 253 and an early manual Commodore rack out of a VB-VH.

[@jwoogunfug]

@@ProShop1 your the best cheers

[@dbsampson]

Is there a kit you would recommend for a HD-HR? Inherited a HR recently with a terrible steering set up that someone has put in it.

[@ProShop1]

Check out the front end we put in the HR. It's the same as in the RBEH

[@markelliott6370]

Love it

[@ProShop1]

Thanks Mark

[@WaynesGarage]

Yeah that's a common problem that alot of people come across with using torana front steering on HD And HR Front cross member the commodore steering was a much easier option I've seen a heap done that way

[@ProShop1]

Yeah I don't know why they still sell the kit.

[@WaynesGarage]

@@ProShop1 yeah who knows why they still sell the kits when it's a common problem

[@Leon-mn6fn]

I like EH but more of the ACHAR and all HOLDENS RULE ANYWAYS 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@nevillecoad1854]

You need todo more homework on the Ackerman Principal! A line from the tie rods should meet a 2/3 the length oh the vehicle. you should not have to change the vehicle geometry in anyway. If the steering is changed so that the arms are at the front of the suspension then these lines should meet at the same distant in front of the car. Modifying the front suspension and in particular the steering system is not a job that should be done without a complete and thorough understanding of the principals involved. Without this knowledge you are you are tempting disaster for all. 5:36

[@ProShop1]

Thanks for your input Neville.

[@MickH60]

Neville, Plenty of us understand completely. It's almost impossible to have correct Ackerman with the steering at the front for the reasons you stated, the steering arms would hit the wheels BUT, I have looked at literally hundreds of factory stock cars and almost NONE of them are built exactly to the Ackerman principle, yep, virtually none, and some are actually miles off, they are all compromised due to lack of space. So whilst it's important to understand the principals involved, you still have to be able to fit the steering and try and eliminate bump steer, as Peter's done here... This has been passed by an engineer....

[@AndrewHill-v4d]

Sorry mate but do you realise when you move your recon opinion? If you use the same one on the rear when you turn left it will actually turn right. You have to get a opinion with the pinion piece going if it’s now on the top side of your main rack in it has to be on the bottom side of your main rack in just let you know.

[@peterbarber7613]

Would have passed no probs with a HQ front end

[@patmcardle2769]

that crap soundtrack has put me off this .... its horrid ....

[@SteveGay-sk3py]

Like your modifcations.have seen many Hr disc brake EH front ends here in Qld .Torana rack and UC Brakes .But like your design better.and modified sump aswell

[@ProShop1]

It was a bit more work but it steers great. Especially with the power assist column
