Weekend Warrior Tech Tips - "Front Suspensions" - Some simple ideas for the blue collar racer.

Weekend Warrior Tech Tips - "Front Suspensions" - Some simple ideas for the blue collar racer.
We have had a lot of requests for more shop videos, its hard to find time to do shop videos during the week with our busy schedules. Since we had a rain out Saturday, we thought that an informative shop video might be more in order than just us working around the shop. We hope you find some of these tips or ideas helpful. We will try our best to answer any questions, we do not know everything considering all the chassis manufacturers recommendations. Thank you for watching.

Appreciate you sharing these tips, im just getting back into racing after years of sitting on the side lines. Please do more tech tip videos if you can 🤙

[@jbabister]

I love you for this Jason!!! alot of racers tell ya to get lost or think ur trying to help someone out against them wont tell ya nothing.. its so great when guys take the time to teach beginner a lil advice on how to setup the car... ALWAYS worth the watch and for the young guys with their simulators these tips help big time to learn how to contorl and race the cars💯❤

[@moosetallone2]

Sure wish I knew some of these thing 20 years ago. Great video.

[@jimmassey1441]

Please do more of these, your a great teacher, or maybe put on a school over the winter

[@JerrellKull]

For every one thing you change, it changes ten other things on the car. Your the first real racer that has actually put this out on KZbin. Ive been doing this stuff for 30yrs, and have had pretty good sucess. I think a Dirt Late Model would be faster on one of my 3-link with pull bar for rear suspension, done plenty of Modifieds, just not a Late Model. Y'all take care.

[@greendeere777]

Great video Hustler! This should help a lot of drivers out there like the true blue collar people who work many hours during the week and are trying to have a good time racing on the weekends, makes it easier and more enjoyable when you can have the cars setup with the basic needs giving the driver's more time to learn how to fine tune it,focusing on other aspects of the car's! That baseline setup and a few minor adjustments is key and also a safety issue with the dirt late model, these crate car's are fairly quick these day's and having the front end out of whack can be dangerous,more than it already is! Thanks again Hustler, I'm watching from SE Ga, did you figure out why your car was struggling this last race?

[@shaneyarbrough141]

Can you do a video on explaining left front load and how to adjust to certain conditions I know some guys that run 450 load at 16 inches and some run 700 at 16 inches

[@jasonfeger2308]

We hope to do some in the future

[@speed_ss]

Losing caster on the RF through bump travel leads to a loss of feel of the RF tire in my experience.

[@traweek00]

Awesome video Jason!!! Never seen someone that races at your level giving out valuable info for free!! Haha. Would love to see how you made your actuator/ride height stick for bump.

[@jasonfeger2308]

Outpace will have them very soon. I think Wehrs will too

[@ryanbozarth129]

This is awesome I know the parts and all your talking about in this video I don’t have any of the plates or etc.. but I run 602 and I have know idea really in set-up bump steer etc.. we move the 4 bars and j bar most nights never touch the shocks, we do it more old school it works but I would like to know how to do these new things but I am in a 08 warrior

[@chriswolcott8882]

What a great video Not many good race teams will share some tricks and tips to help their fellow competitors have a good race car really appreciate taking the time to share even if you are on a low budget still can achieve success Wish you guys the best this season

[@jbabister]

They came, they saw they raced, they thought they could , took on a race they never should!!!!

[@ClarkBoyzRacing]

Man I feel older than dirt. I couldn't smash a spring to save my life, but I could get all the LR bite you could ever want. Lol I still haven't wrapped my brain around a late model not living it's week on a set of scales. But the scary thing is this style of setup is working it's why down to us little annoying front wheel drive cars too

[@stubbytaylor630]

You got Jason Feger to talk for 28 minutes? With Edit. I've seen it but rare lol. Great job 2 Kewl this type of video helps teams and will help your KZbin/ social stuff. Good job fellas. As a carpenter I get all the lines, plates, angles and measurements. Well done for sure.

[@terrellharris3618]

Thanks for really telling guys things hard too get real knowledge that's true and not lying about things really helps every little bit helps a lot thanks for that

[@talanwillisracing5910]

My son and I are just getting started in the late model world and this video has explained more to us than anyone has yet! We do have a smasher and just learning the basics! Thank you for putting this out! He went starlight out to shop after watching and wants to starts checking some of these things for his car! We do a KZbin channel has well! Thanks for the video!

[@gobbler1957]

Very thoughtful of you to help out crew guys if this information helps them. ✌️🏁

[@darrylboone7410]

Great video. Trying to get a 03 rocket going to crate race

[@BrandonDaigrepont]

Amazing video to help a lot of people. Would love to see more educational videos in the future. Phenomenal job, and thanks for showing and explaining things in such detail.

[@jimmassey1441]

Thank you very much for breaking this down in simple easy to understand terms. I am making a set of set up sticks (zero budget) so i can do front end settings in the air. My question is on setting the caster/camber with the car on jack stands i assume the car needs to be level as possible to get an accurate reading ?

[@FegerRacing]

The car should be at the same attitude as it sits on the ground. A part 2, will be out in a few days explaining that and much more.

[@joshuahotsinpiller8259]

Great video! Sure do need to hang around you for a weekend to step up my modified program 😅

[@bryannorton7535]

Consitability, Hell yea. I love it. Great video Jason.

[@johnseers5805]

Great info thank you.

[@jimmattingly4234]

Great job Jason

[@paison3150]

I'm a super late model fan! Watch all the races I can. Because of your video, and willingness to help others, you've gained a new fan! You the man!!!👍🏻

[@FegerRacing]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@brandttuning]

Great info Jason, thanks for sharing for the budget racers out there.

[@rodstanley881]

Bump steer I hate doing that

[@dwaynekerley5862]

Cool guy, with a awesome group behind him

[@MichaelBorn69]

Theirs not many guys like you Jason,

[@outlawracing4]

Great Video!!!!!

[@rickdaulton5497]

Jason do you ever plumb bob your cars ?

[@jasonfeger2308]

Not usually but I sure used to.

[@nicholasjulius4496]

Great video Thank you How did you build the actuator?

[@jasonfeger2308]

Outpace will have them available very soon and I think Wehrs might as well

[@gordonlitz4824]

Cool stuff right there!!!

[@jesseteunis4665]

Just have a question, how come you check caster on the lower ball joint?, or am I just seeing things haha

[@jasonfeger2308]

It’s the easiest for me and in a perfect world your upper and lower ball joint are perfectly in line. Some guys check off of the upper ball joint.

[@jesseteunis4665]

Awesome thank you for the very helpful information, definitely gunna be checking my bump steer more, your way of checking is a super easy, didnit with the gauges once and what a pain, if you don't mind me asking where did you get the actuator, I would like to make something like that aswell

[@scottsherrard]

You realize this too will be old technology one day. And a guy will make a video saying “we just didn’t know what we were doing back then”. The key is to figure it out before anyone else. Just think if you knew all of this 20 years ago.

[@stubbytaylor630]

That's what racing is all about buddy.

[@TravisHayes-k5z]

Any chance I can get the part number for that linear actuator and do you have one for the rears?

[@FegerRacing]

Outpace and Wehrs will have them soon!

[@rickyrickyrule6451]

Opened my eyes ❤❤
