LCA Relocation

[jderry]

How noticeable should these be?


My car did not wheel hop before, still does not.

But it seems to burn the tires off just as easy, maybe not squat so much.

[Fox Slaughter]

I don't think I noticed mine. Would have to drag with them off and then with them on.

at stock height they may not do much. what angle are the arms at?

[jderry]

They were saying on tech it does more for straight line on stock height, since the angle is greater.

[Fox Slaughter]

My assumption is when the axle wants to rotate the higher angle and lower mounting point to the axle means the more the axle tries to rotate the harder it will pull the axle down into the ground.

[jderry]

Yeah, they're "supposed to" make it lift less, the harder it trys to lift the harder it "should" push the tires into the ground.

its nothing rotational, just the angle the force is being directed into the car. But youre right about the effect. too much relocation and the car will actually kick at the ground.

[Fox Slaughter]

If you didn't have anything holding the axle it would rotate the axle because the tires grip more than the friction applied to the pig?

This is also the job of the torque arm.

The LCA are more to keep the axle in place and only moving up and down. Not forward to back.

At least in my mind.

the brackets change instant center and anti-squat
100% antisquat is when the angle just has enough force to not allow the car to squat. below 100 the car will squat. above 100 the car try to push forward and actuall lifts the rear of the car(separation between axle and body)

The more downward angle you have the harder the car will plant the tires but the faster it will unload. That being said I doubt your going to notice anything on street tires...

[jderry]

With an angle finder, it's right at 11*


Think I'll see anything on my drag radials? They advertise .10 better 60 foot

[1BADAIR]

11 is way too much..
should be 0-4 with low power cars. 1000hp about 0

[c0ncEpT]

What Larry said^^.

Is 11 in the lowest hole? The middle hole is usually used for stock height cars. The lowest hole will his the tires harder but the car will spin a few feet out.

[Fox Slaughter]

Are we talking about the Lower Control Arm angle or pinon angle?

[jderry]

Lower control arm angle. I just put the angle finder on the bottom of the control arm.
