Articles related to "Car Suspension"Technically, bump-steer is caused by the deviation of the steering tie rod's arc, from the arc prescribed by the wheel's motion path. But what does all that mean?
All race cars have one thing in common: the suspension must be 'set-up' correctly to gain a competitive advantage.
With drivers and engineers looking to optimize every aspect of a race car's performance, the weight distribution (corner weights) can make all the difference.

Reference to camber angles are often made during TV broadcasts, and in articles about racing cars, but what is a camber angle?
Two of the first three F1 races in 2009 were run in wet conditions. If the engineers had known it was going to rain, how would they have set up their cars?
Every race car has a predefined angle of inclination for the front steering pivots - known as the caster angle. But what is caster angle, and how is it measured?
For years race engineers have tuned their suspension to ensure their cars did not go sideways, then along came drifting...
