OK Ranger Mike. Let me throw you another curve ball. Let's say we have 2 identical cars with the only difference being front roll center location. Everything else exactly the same. Car 1 has the front roll center 3 inches above ground, 3 inches right of centerline and that gives a force angle...
OK Ranger Mike I got it now. Is there a certain amount of angle in degrees I could baseline a setup with? I have read and understand the broom handle theory and read many times your example of 3 to 4 inch offset to the right for roll center location. But for my application with the major amount...
OK Mike. Yes let's suppose a vehicle with straight beam axle, coil over shocks, and Panhard bar. Obviously the roll center height is centerered between the 2 rod ends but how do you go about offsetting the roll center left to right? Is it as simple as moving the location of the Panhard bar...
