SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on performing a suspension position analysis for a floating solid axle four bar rear suspension in dirt late model racing. The analysis aims to determine the lateral and fore/aft positions of the axle center-lines at each birdcage based on the left and right rear shock travel positions. The setup includes indexing birdcages and a left mount j-bar configuration. A recommendation is made to refer to post #301 in the race car suspension class for further insights.
PREREQUISITES
