Some of us have been discussing the 914 rear suspension offline and I measured my toe curve yesterday. I figured I'd share it with the club for discussion.
The axle height scale is in inches and the zero is with the arm level. Attached image(s) |

Here's an interesting article... that contradicts Milliken's book.
Basically, it says that toe is a complex curve that can toe out (proven by my chart)... Milliken states that a semi-trailing arm never toes out. Camber is linear over our range. BTW... BMW uses 12 degrees on their early race M3s and used 15 degrees on their street cars. Article has been removed from this post... its text is in a later post. |
