This is 35 pages of essential reading for car modifiers, budding race car engineers and everyone who wants to understand vehicle ride and handling.
For the first time ever, here in one compact publication are all the fundamentals of vehicle suspension.
Camber, castor, roll centers, weight transfer and tire grip, body roll, virtual and real swingarm lengths – it’s all here, explained in a straightforward and easy to understand way.
Also, quick handling tips for front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive cars.
Based on Chapter 1 of my major book Vehicle Ride and Handling – Testing, Modification & Development, this short book gives you just the essentials.
“I wish I’d had this book when I started running my car at the track. It would have saved me so much time and money!”
