WOW!! Finally got the car out this year, running great, but a few dissapointments.

MOST dissapointing is the steering/handling after swapping on my 99 16x7.5" rims... I used 1.5" spacers on the install which maybe causing the problem

heres the skinny, turn the wheel a little, fine, a little more, fine, just another breath and the car darts out of the smooth curve to a sharp corner!!! it sucks! I figure its because the ball joints are so far away from the centerline of the tire now. is there anything i can temperaily do?? I wanted to drive this summer while i work on my bronco!!! but this winter now for storage i'm looking to do a whole new front suspension! hmmmm... I was thinking maybe a little toe out, or extra camber or something...

They make a kit called a 'negative wedge system', which your car should have if you put a 16" or larger wheel on it. I dont know too much about it, but it has to do with the camber settings. Jegs sells 'em for around $250.00
