Tony Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Scorps car has been a wim research car for some years now. We have analyzed the chassis for compliance and deterioration forming a catalogue of data that is reflected back in to the Lexus community. A few weeks ago the car was measured and re-calibrated but it was also noted a poorly fitted NSF anti-roll bar drop link would need to be replaced, this was done last week when we fitted a new set of tyres on the car.... After Scorps noticed the steering position had changed and now off-line when driving straight. Today we re-measured the Geometry and found the previously worn anti-roll bar had deceived the NSF toe position by -2.8mm toward the trans-verse side OSF necessitating Scorps to hold the steering LHD when driving straight. The situation was sorted in minutes and displays to us all how a well tuned car will react to the smallest of adjustments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightly so!.. Nevertheless analysis will always fall into the equation tiss the wim way.... In fact your example reinforces the example we spoke of today... A worn drop-link has real consequences to the Geometry calibration, and if i am honest the amount surprised me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
