![]() ![]() I believe the easiest way to think about balancing the car is where you need it to be in a dynamic state. This will dynamically take out wedge, but on turn exit the weight will transfer back to put at least some of the wedge back in the left rear. We can do this by softening the right front spring rate. So, probably the best way to do this is to take the wedge out of the car dynamically. Doing this in the pits by turning on the spring adjuster nuts is one way to do this, but then the car might not have enough wedge to get off the corner. So the easiest fix to this tight feeling is to take wedge out of the car. If there is too much wedge in the car, the car will resist turning in to the corner. Turning into the corner usually begins on the end of the straight when the driver is still on the gas. ![]() Since the car is turning left and decelerating into the corner the majority of the transferring load is going to the right front corner and since the left rear tire is usually the heaviest tire on the car, the right front spring rate goes hand in hand with how much wedge there is in the car. Now we’re going to look at how the right front spring rate works to help maintain a balance while the car turns through the corner. The last two articles in this series focused on the balance of left side weight and wedge and how they work together to get the car to turn smoothly through the corner. ![]()
