    Billy, Many thanks. Regards, John

    Mumford links & Mallock TAM info.

    OK - I think I have found some schematic diagrams of how a C type layout is. Am I correct in thinking that it has 2 links on the right hand side ,a 3 link on the left side and a panhard link? The top link on the right side is angled down slightly to equalise tyre loadings on acceleration. The...

    Pinion Angle

    Is there an relatively easy way to determine where the C of G lies on a car? I have access to corner weight scales to determine where the 50/50 weight split line will be in relation to front and back, but how do I determine how high? I would like to implement no squat or rise on my clubmans...

    EQUALIZED REAR TIRE LOADINGS FOR DRAG RACING

    Billy, Im very interested in your findings on this subject. As I describe on another thread (Mallock TAM and Mumford links) I am interested in improving my live axled sprint cars handling. This includes standing start take off with maximum traction and without impairing overall handling...

    I'm kind of stuck with the design of my rear suspension setup on my racecar ie live axle (or beam axle), but I want to improve what I have if possible. If I can lengthen links or change their pickup points, I will do so to help then I will try it out. I gather Mallock used their "TAM&quot...

    Billy, Do you know of any diagrams on the web for reference to your description? I'm particularly interested in getting the geometry correct for a car with 4 trailing links and a panhard to locate a beam axle. John

    With regard to "Trailing Arm Magic" utilised on Mallock Sports race cars, does anyone know how to go about implementing this? I gather it induces anti-squat, but getting things wrong will result in a rear suspension setup that binds. How can optium link lengths / spacings be obtained...
