    Greg: did you see my last comment?

    Greg: did you see my last comment on the Riddiot forum? Meanwhile, comments you made about the CC allocations can be traced to manufacturer religious beliefs. There are a few lost souls, but you can usually tell from test data who makes the vehicle. Honda is the best IMHO. They seem to like...

    Inclinations.

    Just what is an "ideal camber curve" ? One that doesn't jack the rear, one that doesn't cause the tire tread to 'snap-through' near peak Fy, one that doesn't cause unfriendly wheelhouse contact, etc ? It means you need to know something about the tire(s), even the replacement baloney skins...

    By Your Command

    This sample is only of a squad I've been interested in over the years. A Jetta is a lone standout. Smaller frie are not my Thing. Same for Bugs.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=2eea1660-904f-4c0b-add4-87b3e488f0c1&file=wbtrk.jpg

    Power Assisted Steering Feedback

    Regarding thread60-87973 on the Subaru effort gradient, why didn't anyone suggest changing the torsion bar in the steering valve assembly (NOT the valve pressure angle profile but the torque sensor)? This is fairly easy to do, especially after practicing with junkyard parts. Steering systems...

    Happy Trails ( thread800-68031)

    This old topic caught my eye. thread800-68031 Ratios of trails for high performance & race cars ought not be set in stone. The total trail should be set by tie-rod load requirements for feeling at the steering wheel given the overall ratio and steering gain. The tire is but 1 of three...

    Old Posts without answers.

    To relieve the pain of Winter's blast, I roamed this Forum to search the Past. The readings that I've seen are mute, with regard to answers, not even a refute. So is the interest still the same? No need to worry, I can not blame, nor shame, but frame: The questions raised have had to deal...
