Thread: RMIT front suspension design - wishbone angle - rollcentre location

  1. #11
    Chris,

    With regard to your comment:

    <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">if the location of the rollcentre very low was designed so that a lot of the roll stiffness is given by the springs and dampers rather than the suspension links. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

    I suggest you consider Mr. Drum's response,

    [quote] The ICs are actually well above the ground.[quote]

    and what effects the converse of your statement would have.

    It's not a question Pat Drum

    My question to you is..

    Do you find changing the car's ride height to be the quickist way to adjust the static camber?

    well i believe they don't have any other means of adjustment on the car, aside from backing out the inboard rod ends or changing control arms

    We had a couple of different clevis profiles made up that could be used to adjust static camber in the 2006 car. The clevis themselves were adjustable and can accommodate a limited range of swing arm lengths.

    Definitely a quick way to change camber!

    Unfortunately, this dual adjustment results in a more complicated testing matrix and leads to a lot of hypothetical diagnosis...

    ...but the plus side is you can get more negative camber on turn-in by adding a little low speed rebound.
