Keep in mind that on a dirt late model you have a live axle decoupled suspension, so the typical anti-squat calculations you would normally find in textbooks for 3-link suspensions etc. do not apply. You basically have four sources of anti-squat in a typical dirt late model utilizing a 4-link...
@donlift19 -- Check out Autosport Labs. They have a very economical open source daq system. I picked one up a few years back for around $500. It has about everything you will need minus the sensors. I used it on a dirt late model.
As far as the mounting point, the idea is to put it near...
Thanks Ranger Mike. I have looked at both of the programs you listed, and they both appear to have good front suspension geometry. Unfortunately, they don't have the rear suspension geometry that I am looking for in order to develop a full vehicle mode. The svic, used to determine anti-dive...
Side view instant center. This was actually supposed to be a reply to thread #314. I am writing my own set up application for some specific type of racing. I haven't been happy with the out of the box stuff I have seen, and I can't afford to buy the programs that I think can do what I am...
Can you help with some clarification. Is the svic the point where the projected lines created by the inboard upper and lower control meet, or is it the point where the instant axis intersects the tire center line plane. If it is the later, this would put the IC further back in the car (when...
I am trying to do a suspension position analysis on a floating solid axle four bar rear suspension for a dirt late model. I want to find the lateral position of the axle and the fore/aft position of the axle center-lines at each birdcage as a function of left & right rear shock travel...
