I see bump steer talked about here but only B24 understands what it actually is!
Get your wear issues sorted out then a good alignment. Which is basically all you need.
B24 at what point did you have toe out and in when doing your plots? Although zero is the sort after figure i have had great results on other cars by dialling some bump rather than removing. This could reduce that huge height stack you had to do to get zero bump on the SW20 chassis and make the chassis more stable at speed.
Thanks mate.
When I checked the bump steer it was set at the toe alignment that I planned on using. The next time I fine tune it, I would check the bump steer in numerous toe settings just to narrow down the optimum set up.
Adjusting the rear caster through a number of settings also shifted the bump steer plot so in the case of the rear of the car being less flexable for bump steer adjustment, you can set the caster to have the bump steer being closer to neutral in a set range. I managed to set it up in this way so the bump was neutral until the last 30mm of travel where it would then toe in. The rear bump on the race car does not toe out an any stage of travel. It was -4mm overall (if I recall) then finished at -6mm on full compression on the bump stop. That is total -mm from the front of the rear rims
The orginal front toe link stack was never calculated. I simply had a guess then had it made then tested it. IT was way too big, effected the steering input, was a bit vague then broke. Once I returned to the set up in the second photo which was used at MTC /Wakefield 300km, it was a sound set up in comparison. This is the same link used by EVO65 used in the WTAC SW20.
