$1225.00

RideTech TruTurn Steering System Upgrade

Revitalize your classic ride with the RideTech TruTurn Steering System, designed specifically for the 1967-1969 Camaro, 1967-1969 Firebird, 1968-1972 Nova, and other X-body vehicles. This high-performance steering upgrade addresses common issues faced by these iconic cars, such as poor suspension geometry and tire clearance limitations.

Key Benefits

Say goodbye to the frustrating tire lean during cornering and severe bumpsteer. With the TruTurn system, your tires will lean into the turn, enhancing handling and cornering stability. Experience bumpsteer reduced to less than 0.050" through 5" of suspension travel, allowing for a smoother ride. Plus, enjoy the freedom to fit larger wheels—up to 10" wide with a 275mm tire!

Complete Steering System Solution

This comprehensive, bolt-on solution includes:

  • Tall Dropped Spindles: 1.75" taller overall for improved camber gain and a lowered stance by 2".
  • Steering Arms: Designed to correct bumpsteer while providing clearance for wider wheels (up to 10" wide with 5.75" backspacing).
  • Forged Drag Link: Replaces your OEM drag link, relocating the inner tie rod end to minimize bumpsteer.
  • Tie Rod Assemblies: Seamlessly integrates with new steering arms and centerlink for a true "no fab" installation.

Technology

RideTech greatly improves the ride quality and handling performance of your late model muscle car. Choose coil-over suspension, air suspension or monotube shock absorber upgrades. RideTech’s engineering team starts from the ground up with impact forged aluminum shock absorbers bodies that are vastly superior, with respect to quality, to anything offered from the factory. As such, RideTech offers an unbeatable 1,000,001 mile warranty. Like high-end exotics and race cars, RideTech shocks are monotubes. The design provides precision rebound and compression control as well as enhanced reliability. 

Coil-overs are popular upgrades for Mustangs Camaros and LX muscle. A Coilover is simply a shock surrounded by a coil spring; it places the shock and coil in one linear unit. A Coilover is a simple solution for most suspension designs, but can often be difficult to understand what you need. Fortunately, RideTech has your back with 21 years of suspension development.

Choosing a coil-over begins with two important decisions. The first is choosing the function of your vehicle. If you are building a performance car, then you will want a coil-over that has an adjustable shock. This allows the driver to tweak the “stiffness” of the suspension with a twist of a knob located on the shock. This adjustment knob controls the shock valving which controls the damping of the coil-over. This is a huge benefit for drivers who want to fine-tune their performance for the track, autocross, or the road. 

The second most important decision in choosing a coil-over is finding your desired spring rate for the coil spring. Spring rate is the force required to compress a spring 1″ and is an important factor in how comfortable your car rides and your ride height. RideTech has worked out ideal spring rates for your vehicle and intended driving style.
