Thanks sbullet, thats a great idea. Relatively simple and accurate enough for the application. Now I just have to find a means to strap the chassis down, perhaps commandeer a chassis dyno.

Thanks for the insight Norm. endlinks will be adjustable to relieve pretension, joints will be spherical, bracket bushings will be sourced from "energy suspension" polyurethane with integrated zerk fittings in the housings. Motion ratio will be
minimal since the application will have a low...
I'd like to get verification on whether this is the correct formula to calculate sway bar spring rate.
spring rate for solid bar =
Pi x G x D^4
--------------
16 x B^2 X L
where G= the modulus of...
I'd like to discredit both factory alignment specifications and MOST alignment technicians. I have personally seen many techs who don't care or don't understand the effects of their poor alignments. I've also aligned vehicles that pull or dont properly compensate for road crown when they are...
My off road racing experience is limited to racing Score 7S; where sway bars arent desired due to the amount of suspension
articulation and, to a lesser extent, sway bars increase the chance of rollover if one experiences unwanted bit when drifting through a high speed corner. Now I believe...
