Front Pushrods

Posted - 6/29/2010 : 7:29:11 AM

The front pushrod locations have been moved in the front suspension. Instead of using shock mount locations, the new locations are the spring mounts. In rFactor, the pushrod assumes that the shock is inside of the spring. Haven't turned any laps yet to see if there are any ill effects. If any, I would assume that the shock throw would be the same as the spring throw....thus shocks having less effect as before. On the other hand, springs should now bind up as they do in reality.

The front spindle locations, as well as spindle mounts (upper control arm, lower control and steering arm) are now even. My previous calculations made an adjustment for the right side tires being higher, megating the fact that the suspension automatically takes tire size differences into account.

Going to finish up the track pack for release in season C, as well as doing research into control arms lengths and angles. I have a link for a setup book that I'll be referencings to better understand how they're utilized. If anyone has photos or information, feel free to share!
