If the car is starting a yaw to the right the driver will naturally turn to
the left. Using Mayf's numbers the right rear is loaded more than the left
due to caster effect. Is this a bad thing? The upstream tire is loaded
greater than the downstream tire which would be a tendency to *not* roll the
car. If the downstream tire had a greater load applied wouldn't it want to
dig in and tend to roll the car? Is caster is a good thing? I don't know,
but very interested your responses
----------------------------------
. . . Full left turn RR = 900 # for an increase of 30 #
. . . Full right turn LR = 900 # for an increase of 40 #
---------------------------------
Mayf: You say offset is equal on both sides. Do you mean the rear wheel base
is 9/16 wider than the front but perfectly centered in the car?
. . . ''Off set of rear to front is approx 9/16 inches (9/32 per side) Any
closer and I would have clearance issues. I used shade tree process to
mount the race frame in the body so I am sure that is the error.''
