Vehicle Setup and Kinematics | Q&A Series - Ep. 1

We received many interesting questions that you most likely have questioned yourself once. In our brand-new Q&A video, Bruno Finco will tackle all your questions with all his knowledge, since knowledge shared is knowledge squared, as we always say!

These are the questions covered in this video:

• Should I make a spring or an ARB change to fix car balance? Why and when?
• How to define targets for mechanical trail?
• How do Ackermann and static toe change vehicle behavior differently?
• What is the reason for using static camber? Why not using only the camber gain from the caster angle?
• How can I adjust damper bump and rebound to affect the car balance?
• How does the steering rack position affects the roll center height?
• How does differential lock affect balance on power in corner exit?
• When is it better to increase the spring rate to increase grip?
