I have a question for those engineering guru types found in abundance on this forum.
What is the best? place for placement on the calipers on the front hub?
Reason I ask is that I was stuck in a jam a couple of days back and was looking at the placement on the higher range cars
BMW and AUDI have them at opposite sides - one at the front and one at the back, Peugeot had one mounted on the top and others at 45 degrees to front and rear
I did not see any on the lower side of the hub
Now the lower I can understand to avoid water in deep puddles etc
BUT is there a better engineering reason for the placement regarding moments etc? If so what is best? And why is this "best" not used across all marques?
Last thing can the explanation be made simple so an accountant can understand it?
Thanks and Marry Christmas
