Camber adjustment on IRS...

[paul_f]

I want to go round corners too! I think my bus handles better than any other split bus I have driven, and so does everyone else who has driven it. Though thats because it has a good steering box, all new steering components and a Berg shifter - peoples view of handling tends to be swayed by the whole driving experience.

A friend who used to build Beetle cup cars said to use straight ahead on the back as it makes the handling more neutral and more forgiving.

For next year I will have another play as I have to take my beam off to weld on the servo mount, its just playing around with settings costs lots if you don't have the alignment stuff.

What settings would you try then?

My friend reckoned I wanted at least 3 degrees camber on the rear and 2 degrees on the front. No way of getting 2 on the front though.

Its interesting you say about the straight ahead, most places that do split bus conversions (whether I agree with their methods and working practices is another thread) all setup the buses to be straight up and straight ahead. Except one "respected" guy who from the evidence I have seen leaves the back as it falls - visually both wheels have totally different camber and point in different directions.

What do you think about bending arms?
