I keep changing things...
If I make the lower arm parallel with the ground at ride height, I get a SA length of 121", that is 9.35 above the ground. However, at 2" of bump, the SA length is already at 76.76" out and only .972" above the ground. At static ride height, the front RC is at 2.132" above the ground. At 2" of bump, the RC drops to .350" above the ground. This is looking at only one side of the suspension. I have not modeled the opposing side, which it seems I need to do. This is simulating one tire going into bump, while the other tire stays at static ride height. As one goes into bump, and the other goes into rebound, I can see how it will change the RC laterally in the car and no longer be on the vehicle centerline.
This setup gives me the following camber curve...thoughts?
Static @ Ride Height Camber = -.35*
BUMP-
1" = -.91* 2" = -1.6* 3" = -2.42*
REBOUND-
1" = +.04* 2" = +.32*
Anyone think this is any better than the previous setup? Is it normal to achieve such minimal positive gain during rebound?
As always, thanks!
