Suspension Setup - Stock Car Dynamics, Part Two
A more realistic picture of what goes on in the front of a stock car as we negotiate a turn takes into account the banking angle of the racetrack as well as the vertical and lateral location of the moment center. The centrifugal force combines with the gravitational force, that exists all the time, to produce a resultant force. It is the magnitude and direction of the resultant force that we use to determine the effective moment arm length.
