    Wheel loading when adding Bite

    Question I have on a rear 4bars car, when adding/taking bite out of a car does this also "load" the opposite wheel? Ex. 50lbs of bite and you add three rounds bite increases but does this load the RR more?

    If you run down the coilover nut to add to the LR, the RR loses weight.

      I understand the loss of weight, would this make the car drive more off RR adding bite/ or drive more off LR by taking bite out?

          You add lr car will drive off lr more. Keep in mind more lr will free up entry as well. With your questions, what are you trying to achieve?

            Really trying to understand the adjustments we make on the car! Per say the moisture strip at the bottom of the track how to make the car use it.

              once car is up against chain or travel limiter, your static bite numbers siting on scales mean nothing.

              The amount of bite in lr control how quick the traction happens on throttle, ride height...etc
              off throttle on entry it will control whether the car is loose or tight.

              Just my findings from many years of playing around with stuff on scales -vs- feel of what car is doing.

              biggest gains I have achieved is playing with lr dropout, controlling rear steer with bar angles, controlling pinion movement.

              Just my opinion though.
              I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.
