Suspension Set-up

[Luke_ENR34]

Hey guys,

Got just about every suspension arm you can get and just wondering who in adelaide can set it up?

I need Toe, Camber, Caster, Traction and Tension rod set up for street and some track work.

Thanks Luke

u mean a wheel alignment? or u need them to be installed?

[Luke_ENR34]

i still need a wheel alignment, but i mean how do i know how much camber and toe adjustment i need. I've heard you need to wind the traction arm out to reduce bump steer.

Also with the front caster arms, how much caster to i give and how do i know when ive given the correct amount of caster?

thanks Luke

Go see troy and adam @Adelaide tyrepower.... can do a street and/or track alignment for you.... and have done lots before.

[Luke_ENR34]

sweet, didn't realize they adjust all that when they do a wheel alignment. will be seeing them soon.

^^^btw the car is lower now finger width gap at the rear between the tyre and guard

still means you can come down another 10mm....

Yeah, go see them.... they know their stuffs.

Adelaide Radial Tyre do it all as well, Salad (showza) works there part time and he;s somewhat of a suspension expert Matt and the boys know what they are doing also.

as for traction rods, start with making them 5mm longer then stock arms, then put them inyourself. its a bitch to adjust when doing a wheel alignment (requires rear wheels to be off) so start with 5mm and align the car and leave it at that for a while, get used to the car at that.

Steve @ manta racing also does setups to my knowledge top bloke too

luke, i know people think bob jane are shit, but the modbury bob jane have a awesome wheel aligner there, michael is his name and he has done a shitload of setups on race cars before and on mine. Definately trust him with my car, knows his shit. Just another option for you. And with knowing how much of everything to run, itll be trial and error on track, if you understeer, more camber etc.

the car will be going to adelaide tyre power, since they looked after me with tyres.

I just want to know how i should set up the arms before i get a wheel alignment.

The car is 4wd so i want the most grip i can get.
