Finally the suspension design is done and we are very happy with the geometry outcome. The castor, kingpin, scrub, trail, camber curve and bump steer all look really good. The steering arm is double sheer for added insurance. Since we went with spindle mounts, Rich Bogart (Bogart Wheels) had to re design the front hubs to get the upright to fit properly.
Something I never thought of but Rich bought it my attention that most aluminum rims aren’t designed for the tire pressures that LSR cars run (60PSI plus) and are prone to cracking and should be checked annually.
If we don’t get spring fever from all the beautiful weather we have been having, some more might get done.
