Hey its been a long time,no type.I wanted to know if any of you have rake on rear aarms. Im building a buggy 70'' wide and about 90''wb 900-1000lbs or so, gsxr 750. Ive been thinking about building in about 8* rake in rear aarms(I have 8* in front).So would having 8* act as anti squat and if so how much. I can see how it could by the wheel running under the buggy when hammering on it,but this could make suspension stiff in the ruff. Would it handle better without any rake in back(ruff and turns)?thanks
Rake and acceleration forces,I would think,would work against each other somewhat on the rear of an a arm car. Trailing arms use "rake" to some degree but it's just the nature of the trailing arm design. "Rake" being defined as rearward tire movement on bump in regard to trailing arms. I do not know if it is a benefit or hinderance to performance though.
I would have to disagree with your assessment, its all about weight transfer.
Say if I go 8* and build mounts to also go 0*, what would that do for cv angle and plunge at both mounts?One good and the other not so good?
