In the continuing journey to learn about these I took your coaching from an earlier thread on rear suspensions.
1) I measured my ride height from the doughnuts Driver front 5.25 Driver rear 5.60 Passenger front 5.25 Passenger rear 5.60 I quite like how she sits so I’m inclined to call this good but am curious how this compares to yours? 2) I tried the fender bounce test and was surprised by what I found. My front shocks have almost zero movement. There is basically zero movement when I try to bounce the driver side front and only a little on the passenger side front. The driver side feels like a rock. Not sure what normal should feel like here... 3) The rear shocks move as I would expect then to, evenly on both sides but look to be the white Monroe (?) ones. 4) the car is a go cart on smooth pavement but is too harsh over bumps and not compliant enough for comfortable road use. 5) is the tie rod angle shown in the picture, basically level, considered correct? Can you guys take me to school on this all please?  |
