| Re: Suspension Design
Yeah, the Vette is 3,500 #'s with weight bias toward the front.
Too much anti dive causes the suspension to lock up, rigid. 25% sounds good.
Ball joint sounds OK, it doesn't have to be perpendicular as long as it doesn't bind.
before final weld take the spring off the shock and run the supension from full bump to full droop and steer max to both sides and check all clearance/interferance.
When building a scratch frame always weld the suspension mounts last to avoid weld warp alignment problems. |
