wild bill Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Dear BCI need to set my car up properly for fast road use following my lamp post shunt. I've been driving the car for a month or so to see what i thought. I'd set the front suspension up as per the original set up but have bump steer which makes the car very twitchy. I have a friend who has a laser set up and can help but i need the relevant measurements if that makes sense? Can anyone advise? The rear is as it was.I think im talking toe in/out and camberMany thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 20, 2019 Member Share Posted August 20, 2019 Factory settings, but it doesn't mention the widetrack front. And some related discussion.JonathanPS: You're probably about to get advice about adding corner weighting etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 20, 2019 Member Share Posted August 20, 2019 I'd set the front suspension up as per the original set up but have bump steer which makes the car very twitchy.Did the washers go back as documented or where they actually were before?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild bill Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 the washers went back in the position caterham said as i called them to double check. i think its 2 each side. The manuals vary over time and the original front was mangled beyond rec so i couldn't use the previous settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
