Street Racing Channel S10 Steering and Front Suspension Setup at Lucore Automotive!

Billy and the Street Racing Channel team have that little S10 back in one piece and fired up with his new motor and all new front suspension setup, so it's OUR turn to help get it dialed in! With the huge changes made to the front half of the truck this is basically starting over from scratch, new tubular K member, new tubular upper and lower control arms, new steering rack, new bump steer kit... it's all new! So here we go, let's set him up a good baseline to go test!
As with everything in the custom alignment and suspension setup world you really never know what all you are getting into or how long it's going to take. It's honestly even hard to estimate because every car or truck is different, even if they are exactly the same parts they could be installed slightly different. Or the vehicle they are installed on could be slightly different... when we're talking in tenths of degrees every little bit is a big deal. As with Bill and The Old Man's Garage Malibu, or really any custom drag racing alignment we do it's the fine measurements and tolerances that take the time. This isn't a "Toe and Go" kind of deal!
Custom race car alignments, custom alignments, lift alignments, lowered alignments, regular every day nor daily driver alignments whatever it is we do them all here and we do our best for each and every customer. However when we're talking racing application we make sure to be extra super duper careful to get all of this right because a mistake or failure at these speeds can very literally mean the difference between life and death.
Huge thanks as always to all our subscribers, followers, fans, and customers who have made our business successful and gotten our channel to where it is today. Special thanks to the SRC / Street Racing Channel / SRC Garage / Old Man's Garage / Junkyard Digs folks for showing such amazing support for us over the past several months. Without all of you we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are today. We hope you enjoy this one!

There is no need to apologize for working for a living

Thanks Scott we do our best when filming to control as much as we can control but, this is real working and wrenching here.

Good job!

[@jeffbear5317]

I must be goofy as hell 🤣 I do alignments all day then go home and watch you do alignments .

[@glennmanchester5696]

You put the time in on Billy's stuff and the whole family I'm sure I'm not the only one to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR KEEPING THEM SAFE WE ALL APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH IM SURE your definitely a good man and take pride in your job ! I'm hooked on your videos now lol I had no idea how much goes into getting off the line not only safely but w out spinning and also in a perfectly straight line bravo my friend keep our racers safe !

[@waymonhutto2274]

While on the track the front tires of that truck have never spent much time on the ground. Rich is an expert who understands the science behind the correct alignment. Billy and Rob has built a beautiful race truck. Looking forward to a winning race season.

[@rayrussell6064]

The SRC gang has taken stock in gapabees and with Rich alignments they will be as straight as a arrow. Thanks for all you do Rich to make the racing community safe. God bless and as always be safe 👍

[@LucoreAuto]

Lol certainly wouldn't want to be sitting next to this little truck waiting on a light to drop! She's gonna be a whole new level of mean and we're happy to do our little part!

[@Pyle81]

Very interesting Rich. And I can vouch for the Green Lock-Tite. We use it on some parts that if they come lose, And out of adjustment.It would be ALL BAD for the operator. And could lead to serious injury or death. And thank you for the PSA on the loosening bolts on the upper control arms. One of those coming lose at the big end of a run could be a catastrophic ending for the driver and anyone near the car.

[@chrislovett9711]

Shops like Lucore are hard to find People like y’all and the SRC Family are why I can’t wait for content ❤️🇺🇸❤️

[@Slicpimp420]

You know what guys! Big respect for filming in a FULLY FUNCTIONAL SHOP! That just shows this is not a tv show this is not a made set for a KZbin channel. This is real deal. Real working hard fellas! Again big respect for that! You guys do fantastic work! Keep it up!

[@jeffjankiewicz5100]

The S10 is BACK! And it`s gonna take the opposition to Gapplebees. What a BEAST! Do your thing Rich, get it straight, a to b straight as a pin. Stay safe all, God Bless.

[@LucoreAuto]

Certainly wouldn't want to line up against, or bet against this thing with Billy piloting it! Whole new ballgame for 2023. Took a lot of doing but have a pretty good feeling she's gonna be on rails!

[@wesleyfowler8363]

Gotta love a shop that will actually break down what each step is actually doing when performing an alignment on a vehicle! Race or street it’s great information to pass along!

[@cfmechanic]

Can't wait to see how it rides. Thanks for all the tech tips. There are tons of tire and alignment shops but I have only found one guy who can get my car to go str8. Now I'm a customer for life.

Thanks Billy, we do our best for everyone but for these boys it's even more important. Gotta keep these guys as safe and straight as possible!

[@greglange3048]

up until I watched OMG when he had the Malibu at Lucore... I was under the impression Austin owned it and Rich was an employee....Definitely need some Lucore window stickers on the S10 and Falcon., Your suspension setup contributes to their success.

[@fredgursch6056]

I'm so glad you guys are in business. You really are the kind of people that can be trusted. Thank you for all that you do to keep racers safe.

[@alankieffer7631]

Great video I think what sets Rich apart his is patience and attention to detail and the drive to do it right the first time and the truck looks fantastic

[@LucoreAuto]

Not giving up, and but being willing to walk away then come back to it is a huge part of success with this stuff. Don't get overly frustrated, and be willing to admit sometimes you need another pair of eyes or hands. If you never give up you'll never lose 😉 Thanks for the support Alan!

[@tommyhayworth887]

Rich you are very sharp on front-end geometry Lucore always gets it done and saves the day.

[@deerdust3040]

Great job getting it adjusted. I know it can't be as easy on a race vehicle. We don't know yet with Billy's new setup, but if it's anything like the history of the truck the front end will be off the ground for the first part of the track. I can hardly wait for some test hits. All the best to you guys! Keep it straight and keep it safe!!

Rich, thanks for the education!!! Don’t worry about the noise, it’s a garage/shop it’s expected.

[@davidjenkins1958]

Rich, I sure hope the people of the Columbus, Oh area appreciate what they have in Lucore Automotive. A shop gets a vehicle in for a front end alignment, with parts on it that didn’t come on it and Rich Lucore does his magic. I refuse to call you a technician because you are a master mechanic. I just wish I lived closer to you rather than central Maryland to have things done.You Rich are the best.

A little shot of P B Blaster, or W D 40 on the belt with the eng. running & it will stop squealing.

Rich, you do great work and I really enjoy each and every video! One recommendation though, fender covers to protect paint.

Need to have the Lucore PSA segment. It's was explained in layman's terms so everyone understands. Thanks

Love the content

[@LucoreAuto]

Thanks Justin! We'll keep making it, you keep watching it!

[@stephenmorrish]

Sound: The fact that you are in a working shop with ambient noise isn't an issue, we understand. What you could do to help is to use a mic, if you voice is clear the other sounds are less important. When you record a second separate sound source you can adjust levels in editing. Other KZbin mechanics I watch are using clip on radio mics. Allen from the Skid Factory often has his clipped to his hat. Dealing with multiple sound sources does add extra complexity to editing but would make a massive difference to overall video quality.

[@gradybaby8309]

shop videos should sound like a shop video... success... its all about the angle of the dangle.

[@timothymetzler7715]

Yea I agree Rich no reason to be sorry this ain't your 100% money source we appreciate your videos just as they come

Great job Rich!!! Thanks for sharing with all of us!!!

[@ScottSmith-dd6iy]

Love the video Rich, Great example of what it really takes to get anything done. LOL Nothing is ever simple. I gotta say, When We build things, nobody ever thinks of the other guy that has to follow us up, IE Alignment guy, interior guy or what ever task that is not being done by the car owner. I'm guilty of that too. So Good job on handling situations where the suck factor is a 10.

[@jerrystarner1517]

Weight of driver makes a difference to... Job well done

[@LucoreAuto]

Indeed it does. On ANY of these sorts of alignments we load the drivers race weight in the seat and floor before doing any work. All part of the process.
