I'm wondering if my front truck is too turny. Should I put on less wedge? Right now its a stock bennett with soft khiro bushings, set at 15 degrees. The wheel base is around 20 inches and I dewedged and stiffened up the rear. Maybe its just turning too much? I'll put it to you this way, if I lean into the turn I can do a full circle in less than 6 feet diameter. If I maintain the soft setup which I like, but do an 8 degree wedge up front instead, will that help?

What Karl said - I raced on a Bennett front last year...+5 degrees for TS/HY and Flat 0 degrees for GS/SGS.

Try a yellow 75a stim on the bottom (with a cup and riser washers under it). Makes it WAY more stable.

From my limited experience with Bennets, they require a lot less wedging than other trucks.
