Re: Roaring Forties 105

Got away from the A lower arm as it was giving a fair amount of rear bump steer.
This was fixed by going to the 2 lateral links on either side.
This has reduced the rear bump steer to .003” toe in at 0 deg caster.

I moved the upper link from the front to the rear on upright.
Felt this may change things as it goes through arcs.
It had no effect on toe in bump ect ect.
It has given more clearance at the rear shock and also at the roll centre adjuster.
I understand about 3 and 4 element rear suspension (amount of pivots) and it has leant more towards 4 elements.
But it has made it closer to the bottom arm.
It is all rose jointed and does work smoothly.
