'71 Camaro Control Arm Redesign

[dennis68]

I'm confused; do you want camber to move positive in bump? Most designs would gain negative at least 1* or so per inch of bump.

The only way caster can change is if there is deflection in the system. It is a static measurement based on camber at 10* of turn (at least this how I measure it with our Hunter P611). Even if you could measure it dynamically any change would be a result of other variables, not designed change.

How much camber do you think you are going to be able to "engineer" into just replacement arms in the stock locations?

I suppose you could reduce scrub radius by adding length to the arms and running different wheels.

How the hell are you going to eliminate RC migration by changing control arms???



Good for you, doing it on your own is always better than buying somebody else’s "snake oil".

BTW, wrong board for unsubstantiated claims. Way too many engineering and suspension experts around here for that. Big difference in “Hi, I'm new and trying to learn" and “Hi, I'm an expert and this is what I can do even if it defies the laws of physics".
