Specifically I am looking for rotational stiffness (ie. twist) of the trailing arm due to the tire contact patch resisting sideways sliding of the car. I'm only interested in forces greater than 1G during cornering.
I already know what happens but go ahead and take a guess. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'll post pictures of my test fixture shortly. |
