Adjustable rear suspension frames

PostPost by: tonyabacus » Thu Jul 18, 2024 7:33 pm

Curiosity gets the better of me but can anyone explain the rear geometry when using adjustable rear suspension arms/(frames).

As the adjuster is inserted in one of the tubes, how does this affect the angles and tensions being put on the inner chassis bushes and the outer mounting points on the suspension struts, as well as the welded joints on the suspension arms themselves. As the adjuster is moved in or out, this must put a strain on the other joints?

Hi

Yes it does, but the aim is to introduce a small but sufficient amount of deflection, not enough to be an issue in a wider context.

Zetec+ 2 under const, also 130S. And another 130S for complete restoration. Previously Racing green +2s with green tints. Yellow +2 and a couple of others, all missed. Great to be back 04/11/2021 although its all starting to get a bit out of control.
