Left side weight loosens on entry... why?

[Dirtmod13]

Proving wrong my own theories about weight distribution and the role of static left side weight. Just trying to look at the suspension from different directions to understand it better.

Think of it this way. When slick the car gets less traction and instead of rotating it slides fairly flat. It's harder to get lr back on the bars when it's flat. Add some weight up high and it'll roll over a bit more. That will allow lr to get on the bars to make more cross and tighten the car. U can't get any cross when the lr isn't on the bars to some degree,That loads rr more and makes it even looser. Hold 25 lbs of lead at your waste and run down the driveway and turn left. Then hold it above your head. You'll get it real quick.

Is it really that hard to get the LR up on the bars though? All I have to do is give the pedal on the right a stern look and up it goes.

Where the weight is in relation to the CG. Pick up a bag of concrete from the floor and then pick it up from the back of your truck? It takes 3 ft more work to make it happen from the floor.

That's why low and left is a bad move without the adhesion to get the CG to move about the roll center.

Really?

Disregard anything dm13 said. You'll lose drive putting weight up higher too. You'd want to take rebound out of the rf if moving higher or many other adjustments.

So why do guys put weight up high then? This isn't asphalt. Instead of criticizing why don't you tell us how it works?To disprove his last statement try this. Take your lawnmower and bolt 100 lbs under neath. Pop the clutch and see if you transfer any weight to rear. Now bolt the same weight to the safety roll bar over head and pop the clutch. You'll (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) near tip over backwards. that is transferring weight. That helps drive. But like all things it can be overdone
