Suspension Optimization and Tuning Help

[AutoX_a_Truck?]

Hi Tyler,

I'm back on the Forums. I know you're busy with other stuff. When you're ready to pick up our discussion, just PM me.

Ron, aside from what I posted in #25, I do not have much of an update, but I wanted to check in because I now have some free time to devote to my Scout II project.

I think the steering setup is now in a good place with minimal bump steer. My Dad fabricated a trick roller bearing setup for the idler arm to finish it off.


Also, the upper ball joints can be adjusted to be at least 1" taller than in the previous measurements.

I have an autoX event on June 1st. Before then my to do list includes taking more accurate measurements of the front ball joints (and possibly other components) so that the dimensions match the measured caster angle. It should also be relatively easy to fix the panhard bar split, which is the opposite of what you suggested in post #21. I also posed a few questions in post #25 regarding making the most of the event to gather the most useful data possible. Finally, as always, I am open to your suggestions and input.

Thank you,
Tyler
