Thanks dude! Seriously though, I think to help solve your hooking problem you could do a number of things. I would usually start by making the front suspension of the car stiffer to reduce the roll at the front of the car. This can be done by- 1. Making the front shocks more upright by moving them out at the top. 2. Increasing the damping in the front shocks (thicker oil or fewer/smaller holes in the piston). 3. Increase the spring stiffness at the front. Not knowing your set-up kinda makes this a guess though and the amount by which the damping/spring stiffness should increase by really depends on the serverity of the 'hooking'. |

without knowing what conditions your running on, tires, driving style and all that. I would say start with standing taking the shocks off, and making sure your suspension isnt binding. then check to see if you have a bent shock shaft (not likely but its happened), and make sure your cars is symetrical and not tweaked (ie one of the front tires lifts off before the other, or the same with the rear) if that all checks out. start making changes, the front shocks up, put a 1mm washer under the tie-rod on the c-hubs, stiffen front spring. you didnt say if it was onpower or offpower, but i am guessing its offpower entering corners? but if its still really bad, try moving the front tierod outboard on the shock tower(shortening the tie rod which raises the roll center) assuming your running on a reasonably smooth carpet track (since its that time of year) I would make sure your droop isnt to cracked out, about 1.5 front 2.0 rear is a good starting point but what i think should help or maybe fix that is running in the number 3 camber link hole. or if your running a one way recheck the condition of your car (shock length, tweak etc). so try the shorter camber link and get back to me USMC6017ad@yahoo.com good luck |
