At the moment im really struggling to get the car to work for me,maybe not the ideal carpet car then
Just try one thing at a time then you can see what the difference is, go for big changes to see extreme affects ans learn quicker - i.e. front shocks on outside hole then on inside hole.

Are you using brand new mini pins with none trimmed off?

I think there are another pair of rear hubs left in the parts bag i have from the kit,would they be the option 1 degree hubs? So its 1 degree of rear toe you are gaining with those fitted?
@ northy,i am using quite worn yellow mini pins that havent been cut

It might be worth firing ianf on here a pm. I had a go on his car today and it was very docile. Might just be the complete setup your looking for

Your car didnt exactly look slow either Andy, you were both flying with the rangos.

I bought my first Durango this summer, and found it almost incontrollable with std setup ( by the book ) got a tip to add antirollbar in the rear as the antirollbar will increase the grip in the end that it's added and decrease the grip in the oposit end, and found the car much more driveable..

Anti-roll bars work the opposite way round in my experience, fit a rear anti-roll bar and it will increase front end grip and vise versa.

On my cars i sometimes run a front anti-roll bar to decrease front end steering when running with new tyres, especially on high bite indoor carpet.
