I'm about to do a change of front uprights and A-arms in the next couple of weeks.
Obviously since I have the car and the uprights, my hands will be tied as to what I can work with.
But before I start, I'm going to analyze it, and make sure what I'm about to attempt isn't going to screw things up.
My questions are:
1- How much movement of the roll center is "normal", both horizontally and vertically? From what I had read in the past, ideally the roll center needs to be above ground, and below the rear roll center? I could be totally wrong on that.
2- How much camber change is reasonable (i.e. at what point would it be considered a reasonably good setup) - as a function of roll or dive.
I'm already aware of making sure the motion ratio for the spring should stay linear, so I'll be working on that.
Any pointers welcome.
