Happy Memorial Day, I hope everyone is doing well.

I am working on a tube chassis design. And I was wondering how your semi-trailing arms sit at ride height. Also if someone has an idea of an acceptable range and how that might affect alignment.

It would probably be easiest to measure the angle on the top of the arm rather than the angle through the center of the wheel-bearing…. When you find a few minutes I would love to hear your semi-trailing arm angle at ride height!

Thank you in advance
Spencer

If you are going to go that far, why not make a much lighter trailing arm with two camber/roll center controlling links such as this... (this is just a simplified image showing an idea)
