    Castor angle limitation

    Thanx..... our vehicle has 0mm toe setting. hence i think tht there won't be any toe variation by altering the castor.. But is this 6deg per say is ok?? what will be normal castor in LCVs with rigid front axle beams sen

    Castor angle limitation

    Hi all I'm having a minibus with a front axle load of 3tons. (power assister steering). The castor angle was 3deg and i had lot of problems like the steering was very light (floating like feeling) at high speeds & poor self centering. Now i've increased it to 6deg & now the steering grip is...

    Thanx all.. Well, the vehicle is a minibus (7.5Ton GVW) brand new vehicle. By bumpy ride i mean the vehicle oscillates up & down once it crosses a bump.. Should i increase the shock absorber damping.. if so is there any rule to relate suspension stiffness & damping?/ (Its a rigid axle...

    Passenger vehicle Bumpy ride.

    Hi all When a vehicle ride is said to be bumpy in a very good road condition, can i say that shock absorber damping co-eff to be increased to reduce it? But the Damping of the Shock absorber theoretically matched to give a comfortable ride. Wat else could cause this in general? Thanx in...

    Lesser steering effort at Higher vehicle speeds

    Thanx.. But is this phenomina applicable only to power assisted steering??? Can i quantify the effect of aerodynamic instability by running the bus at higher speeds with steering power assistance disconnected mode?? Cheers Sen

    Lesser steering effort at Higher vehicle speeds

    Hi all.. I've come across the performance rating of a minibus (7.5Ton GVW). This is having integral power steering which is reported to have higher steering effort (about 5Kg with a 450mm dia stg wheel) at lower speeds (say 20-30kmph) and a very low stg effort(Controlling of the vehicle becomes...
