Check Out That Chassis

I have a 1994 S-10 with a 4-link set up. The truck launches good but wants to drift to the left just a little. I mean, only inches and does go straight down the track. Running a 500+hp 383 with a 5000 stall Coan and 2 speed Coan Glide, 513 Richmond in a Moser Dana 60 and adjustable coil over set on 3.

It doesn't lift the truck much to load the rear tires and our 60' are 1.45 to 1.47 and with my set up should be in the mid to low 1.3 range and be a little more violent I would think. Is my pinion angle off a little or do I need to load it more?  Where do I start adjust? This is the first 4-link I ever messed with.

Tom,

The first thing you should check is the rear square in the truck. Then once you know that you could add a little preload to the top right bar, a little is one flat or a 6th of a turn. This will make it go straight. To make the 60 better I would go to the shock setting and make it 2, see how it likes that if that is good then try changing the top bar by moving it down 1 hole at the chassis end this will make it hit the tire harder and help it move, better 60's.
