Re: Wheel Alignment

Well Trevor,

I was pretty sure about that.....

Even with the lower radius rod running forward horizontally, the rearward end as it moves away from the horizontal is going to describe an arc under movement pulling the upright forwards, which with a reverse A arm must cause toein, I would have thought?

Is there something I have not considered?

Ah yes, I was thinking about my setup where the arms run forward parallel to the centreline of the car. That is why I'm using twin lower links.

If the front end of the radius rod is moved inboard so that it is at the same height as the inboard A arm pick up and the same distance from the middle line of the car. Then the toe will not change.

Just as well there's someone like you Trevor to stop the flow of misinformation!!

Hmmm...... I still haven't figured out the effect of transverse shift of the RC........

Cheers
