Camber compensators
What type is better for cornering and road holding, the CB type with the loopy ends or the Sway-away? I’m not concerned if the ride is a little bumpy.
IRS is not an option.
TIA

whiteline automotive are minutes away from my place, but they don't make one for the rear of a swing-axle type 3.
Bond, what was it about the design that you preferred?

I had a CB Performance one on my Oval before I went to a BJ/IRS pan.
The improvement was great. I did have to get 4 longer studs to mount the centre bracket to the transaxle though.

I drove around with the old floor pan for 6 - 12 months or so. Not quite sure.
It never did any damage to the gearbox whatsoever.

I have the say aways on my '61 and they are not a problem. do know if i would like to have the limit strap type snag on the arms? handling feels a
lot more controlled with it on.
