Not sure if it's the photo but the front wheel looks to be neutral to me. I would have thought that 1.5 degrees up front and half a degree on the rear is about right? I've been thinking about the suspension setup for a while and that's what i came up with. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

The rear definitely looks positive to me, unsure or the toe, that could just be the arches giving false impressions On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Does that fact that the rear axis of the car is at about 5 degrees to the road not give you some clue about what the static camber is with that wheel unloaded and the car sat at rest??

Jim's certainly a bender. Dont know about his suspension though I seriously doubt it! |

I never really noticed, but it could be looking at this pic, I have noticed the the camber bracket bending I suspect this is whats moving.

Longy will know all about this, but you could rig up a strain gauge. I can imagine its quite a complex setup, but there may be some basic setups available. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

simply set up a probe that references on the inner rim lip and set back say 5mm , then see if it is rubbing after a session, , |

I recon its an optical illusion with the toe out, the roll, and the angle of the picture. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

Don't know what arms you run, but the cast (standard and KAD) bend under heavey cornering, especialy with tyres like that. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

heres a thought, assuming its not an optical illusion, could the beam be bending and not the arms? assuming its only bolted on the outer edges (which i doubt) as it looks like the wheel off the deck has a bit of positive camber about it aswell lol turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Can anyone think of any ideas how I can monitor the radius arm for bending? they are KAD ally ones. pretty basic idea jim , but what you could do is , get a piece of steel rod or box ,say 5mm diameter ,attach it to the arm near the wheel,so it sit vertically and make a slot in the shell so it comes inside the car ,then have a pointer on the in car end rubbing on a scale ,and them paint the scale . the idea being that any twist will make the pointer scrape the scale plate sideways .any pure up and down motion would just leave a vertical score . edit to say ,this wont work becuase the swing of the arm would mean a fore and aft motion of about a ft lol,wouldnt want a metal pole spiking you in the ear . a better option would be a short spike sticking out of the back of the hub centre with a plate bodyshell mounted at a right angle to the arm ,and a right angled bend on the end of the spike bearing on the plate .... ,this would show a straight line on a plate if it was only going up and down ,and a weird spirograph pattern if flexing ..

Denis, I'm pretty sure that Jim is running a rear sub frame, all be it slightly lightened. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

Interestingly I was reading about the Honda BTCC car last night and it was talking about the rear suspension steering under load. But it is a deliberate design (even on the road car). Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

The current Vauxhall Cavalier in the BTCC has similar rear wheel setup.
