I am working out the final #s for my Satchell link bar placement. I am trying to work in some understeer for the rear.... how much has been the question of the day. For you suspension geometry geeks (I am becoming one too!.... I think), I was wondering what you guys figured in for compliance steer on your designs? I know it has to do w/ many factors, but I'm just trying to get a ballpark # for the roll axis angle that will compensate for compliance steer. Do you guys find (on the average) that 4-link designs have compliance understeer or oversteer? It seems to me that there would be oversteer to some extent (?)... figuring out how much is the big question. Do you know of any ballpark figure I could use for my design in regards to compliance steer? I know I'll hafta "street dyno" the suspension after it's all together..... just trying to get it fairly close on the initial set up.
FYI> My design is not incorporating Heim type ends.... I wanted to try Johnny joints and delrin. If I don't like the results, I'll go w/ heim style.
It seems there are a few of you guys that know what you're talking about when it comes to design...... I'd be real interested to hear your hands-on experiences on this subject. Thanks fellas.
