Love the concept… my question is wouldn’t the load on the LS in your diagram be applied the opposite direction? I see the drawing as the load is toward the chassis in both drawings but wouldn’t it be toward the chassis in RF and away from the chassis on LF? Also how would you relate this concept to having a high and long instant center on the LF which I know helps to load the LF even to the point of breaking suspension components (I believe you mentioned in your book) Thanks for the great video
Yep, that is correct, but the KPI is really what I'm trying to think about here. The more I think about the possible drawbacks, I'm not so sure it would work. Maybe.
Interesting thoughts. Make sense. But as you alluded to, everything is a compromise. Finding that magic balance is the trick. I'm trying to figure out how to apply it to a stock car, which may be impossible since we have to use stock spindles.
I don't think the tire pressure on left front will ever put any pressure on lower control arm ..pull outwards sure ..all pressure would be on top control arm pushing in towards chassis ...but I'm probably not understand the scenario ur trying to give but I do have a question about lift arm on late model if u use lighter spring or decrease the load static would it help to get on bars quicker ..hope I ask the question correctly..love ur videos
I like the softer stuff on the lift bars. Because the panhard bar mounts in front of and below the pinion, the softer spring would have a faster lifting motion on the panhard where it mounts on the frame on the lr.
Just curious about wheel alignment. I was looking for a video from you that covers relationships to front a rear tire alignment mainly the right side ,and spacing in and out in general. I really like your videos and can relate to your theories. What I'm trying to do is make the car leave the corner straighter.l feel like I have to much steer, chasing the rear of car up off the corner with the front end ? Just asking for your opinion
I believe right-side tire alignment is one of the biggest changes you can make to your car. When your car is at race attitude, your right side tires should be close to aligned. This is a strung version with the front tires countersteered so the side walls line up. In a little makes the car tighter. out a little makes the car free. I cover this in my book with some pictures to help clarify things. I may make a video about this in the winter. Thanks for watching.
It would be tough to do on a mod because you can’t alter the KPI. You could take camber out of it, but camber is way more important than the kpi change.
@HoganTechnologiesLLC thank you I know that wiggling steering as the track dried out with my sprint car yrs ago. The traction remained n it smoothed out with speed thanks for information n your channel

I agree with you with unstable wheel loading

Yea, stock spindles are a ver limiting factor without compromising camber.
I like you're thinking. No wonder Russ was so fast.
Id like to see this on a cad
Makes allot of sense

RU proposing the 25 deg KPI on the LF only ???
At this time I am. I think we are getting plenty of force on the right front just with weight transfer.

Can you make me a spindle to try
I'm no longer in the building end of things. I just try to share ideas and try to help people out.
How would that concept work on a ump dirt mod thank you

What can be done to add traction to a dirt?Late model running on hard tires american racer MD 56
