A3. TRACK-WIDTH
Track-width is the distance between the outside edges of the wheels,
front or rear. It is important that front or rear track-width is adjusted
symmetrically, meaning that the left and right wheels must be the same
distance from the centerline of the chassis.
Initial steps
A Shocks: Attach front and rear shocks.
B Wheels: Mount all four wheels on the car.
Set-up apparatus
Place the car on a at measuring surface. We recommend using a HUDY
Set-Up Flat Board, which has graduated markings to measure track-
width.
Measuring track-width
Measure front track-width on the outside edges of the front wheels. It is
important that front track-width is adjusted symmetrically, meaning that
the left and right wheels must be the same distance from the centerline
of the chassis.
Measure rear track-width on the outside edges of the rear wheels. As
with front track-width, it is important that rear track-width is adjusted
symmetrically, meaning that the left and right wheels must be the same
distance from the centerline of the chassis.
A3.1 Setting front track-width
Front track-width setting = 200mm
Set the front track-width to 200mm; the
outer edge of each front wheel should be
100mm from the centerline of the chassis.
To increase front track-width, turn OUT
both upper and lower pivotballs equally. To
decrease front track-width, turn IN both
pivotballs equally.
Note that changing front track-width will also
affect the front toe-in setting.
A3.2 Setting rear track-width
Rear track-width setting = 200mm
Set the rear track-width to 200mm; the outer edge of each rear wheel
should be 100mm from the centerline of the chassis.
