Cambered solid rearend

[funcars]

I've run one with 1.5 neg each side. It had to come out and I put a regular non-cambered floater back in until I have my torque arm in the car to keep the pinion angle under control. You get soem pretty nasty toe changes in a bad direction unless you have a link type of suspension. They wear tires but so what. You need to get crowned axles and hardened drive plates. Make sure to get the toe dialed in by stock car products or speedway engineering or someone that knows how to do it properly.

It's pretty durable stuff. Street only use doesn't make sense, but if you run it hard on the track too it helps. You will also need to change roll stiffness to get everything working right because you will have more grip in the rear.

Hope this helps.

Finaly someone that has actually used it. I am not worried about toe to much. 68 chevy shortbed pickup is the project vehicle. Long arm suspension, adjustable anit sway bars, adjustable spring pirches, all the fun stuff.

You want just enough static toe-in to keep the outside tire from toeing out as the pinion angle varies. Too much static toe-in will add a separate understeer effect (and toe-out will tend to make it loose).

verrrry interesting.

How does the toe change on a solid axle during suspension travel?
