305 wing car.
1025 bars right side. 1000 left side. Right rear out to 20" 17" stagger. 4/6 lf 5 rf 5/6 lr 5/4 rr. 1 1/2 turn into rr. -3/4 lr flat lf 1/2 in lf. Still tight on entry. What you think. Torque ball moves freely.

could be air pressure? ride heights too high? wing too high/back? or your bars could be worn significantly

Block at 4 in front and 4 in rear. Bars are new. 8-10 psi in rr

RR shock is too soft and that is letting it pin the right rear. All that weight in the right rear is going to stick it harder too! Try one in down the right side of the car and one out down the left side. You can also tie down the left rear shock a little more to help it rotate in too.

Could be winged down to hard on lr and making it tight on entry too

What gear?

Tie down the LR harder,try a 4/10.

So 11/2 into rr bar and 1/2 into lf bar is way to much.

Might ck you bias, lf to rr, when you turn the steering to the left, may be too much transfer on to RR, like KPA's are off? I assume you are pushing? Just a thought, I doubt many cars from the same family respond to the amount of turns applied to the bars, assuming this is a bar car! Bob

Winged 305s are chronically horsepower tight.. way too much wing and tire for the power available. I know several guys who ran 305s for years and had to completely re-learn how to drive when they moved up to 360s or 410s. I am not saying you can never get the car to feel like you want it to, but what you are fighting goes with the territory in a way.
