Camber Compensation
Camber Compensation
(OP)
Is there a method for setting camber compensation? I suppose one it would be a strong function of the vehicle roll gradient (and the time distribution the car spends in corners or on straight aheads, although this would be quite area dependent). I'm not sure how to set a target value though. Any advice?

RE: Camber Compensation
So, with a vehicle roll gain R deg/g, it would seem reasonable to set the camber gain C=R+0.5 deg/g
In practice this does not happen. Typically C=~0.5*R
One reason is that in low speed cornering you get additional camber gain at the front due to the interaction of the castor angle and the steer angle.
Another thing to think about is that your camber gain is VERY strongly related to your geometric roll centre height.
I'm away from my books at the moment, I'll pull out some typical figures on Tuesday.
Oh, also it varies front and rear, which were you most interested in?
