Re: Rear suspension bump steer

Guys It was pointed out to Ross H by an early builder Geoff T that this lower hole was causing way too much camber gain and subsequently the new hole for the top link inner was raised. I think the lower hole has been removed from later chassis but I'm not sure. It's interesting that Ross H while driving one of the cars at Calder put it into the wall up the back straight.The extreme camber gain could well have been the reason and I never believed the BS that Robert L claimed, caused this accident. Personally I'd leave the inner mount in the top hole and alter the static camber for more corner grip, but how much will depend on your springs and the rest of your setup. Sounds like you've made major changes Tim, let me know how it goes.
