Suspension dynamics can be very confusing without the right base knowledge. There are a lot of terms going on when talking about typical front and rear suspension systems and they can be confusing. If you don’t understand some of them, you’ll never be able to setup and tune suspension systems to your full potential. To get a better understanding of rear 4-link suspension systems being used in a drag racing application, check out the video below where you’ll see an actual demonstration of the dynamics going on and will understand this quickly.
Check it out.
Video Description:
📹 In this video, I break down 4-link physics and how bar angles affect chassis forces—including squat, anti-squat, and no chassis reaction with a close to 100% anti-squat. Using Clapd Out’s 4-link simulation with a scaled RC drag car, we will visually demonstrate what happens at the hit on a drag car, helping you better understand how to tune your 4-link for max traction, consistency, and control. Whether you’re racing no prep, bracket, or heads-up, mastering these suspension dynamics is the key to getting down the track faster and keeping your car hooked up!
