A8.1 Setting the front anti-roll bar
Front anti-roll bar setting = horizontal
(softest)
Set the front anti-roll bar to the horizontal
(softest) position.
Adjust the front anti-roll bar by turning
both blades to an equal angle. When the
at of the blade is horizontal, this is the
softest position. When the at of the blade
is vertical, this is the stiffest position.
A8.2 Setting the rear anti-roll bar
Rear anti-roll bar linkage lower mounting
position = outer hole
Attach each rear anti-roll bar linkage to the
outer mounting hole on the rear lower arm.
A9. SUSPENSION TWEAK
A “tweaked” car is an unbalanced car, and has a tendency to pull to
one side under acceleration or braking. Tweak is caused by an uneven
wheel-load on one particular axle. You should check for suspension
tweak after you have set up the suspension settings.
Initial steps
A Shocks: Connect the front and rear shocks.
B Anti-roll bars: Disconnect the front and rear anti-roll bars.
C Wheels/Tires: Mount a set of wheels/tires. Ensure that each set of
tires is the same size left and right.
Set-up apparatus
Measure tweak with the car sitting on a at reference surface (such as a
HUDY setup board).
Check for tweak from the front of the car
A9.1 Lift and drop the front end of the car a few cm’s to let the
suspension settle. Place a sharp tool underneath the chassis at its
middle point, and lift the front end. If one front wheel lifts before the
other, the rear of the car is tweaked.
