Hi Can anybody point me to a link or book on wheel alignment for the set up of a rear engined car set up not unlike the average 70s formula car. I am assembling my semi replica Mclaren M8B that I have built. Its running rear lower adjustable wish bones, top link and at the front we have adjustable top arms and a fixed bottom wishbones.
I have observed Formula Ford style single seaters being stringed so basicly understand what they are doing, its just that I do not know the science. Would you have any toe in on the rear, what toe in at the front, what sort of caster angle would be a good start point etc. If any body can point me to some info, It would be appreciated.
