ACKERMAN
Reducing the number of washers
behind the centre track rod ball stud
will increase the inside wheel angle
and reduce the outside wheel angle.
This is more suited to tight tracks,
with slow-speed corners.
Increasing the number of washers
behind the ball stud will increase
outside wheel angle and reduce
inside wheel angle. This is more
suited to open tracks, with
high-speed corners.
The spring rate controls the suspension stiffness.
Spring adjusters only change the ride height. They DO NOT alter the suspension stiffness. On slippery or bumpy
tracks use soft to medium rate springs, on flat or high grip tracks run medium to hard rate springs.
In general always run the car as low as possible,
without the chassis grounding out.
A good starting point with rubber tyres is 5.4mm at
the front and 5.6mm at the rear.
Changing the roll bar thickness changes the way the weight is transferred, and the roll of
the car. A stiffer/thicker rear roll bar will reduce entry steering but increase on power
steering. A thicker/stiffer front bar will increase entry steering. Generally we use thinner
roll bars in bumpy conditions.
The roll bar link can be adjusted in length to compensate
for roll bar tweak.
LOCK SETTING
The grub screw in the radius arms acts as a
lock stop. For more lock unscrew the grub
screw. For less lock screw in the grub screw.

Changing the height of the wishbone pivot pin changes the roll centre.
Lowering the roll centre (removing spacers) will give the car more grip
at the expense of increased body roll.
Raising the pin by adding spacers will raise the roll centre, this will
reduce grip, but the car should be more stable.
