Subject: Re: C4 traction, hook up, hooking up, collective how-to thread by Josh on 2010/9/6 20:35:12 Your car shouldn't be able to squat much more than any other C4. The bump stops should hit the knuckles and prevent the car from squatting any further. I built some bump stop extenders that stop the rear end from squatting once the half shafts are parallel to the ground. On my car, the stops had to be extended by exactly one inch. If you put your car on jack stands, and then jack up the knuckle until the half shaft is parallel with the ground, then measure the distance between the rubber snubber and the knuckle. That's the distance you'll need to extend the snubber by. By doing this, when you hit the snubber the half shafts are straight, which is the point where the whole assembly will take the most abuse before breaking. I don't know if this is best place to stop the rear squat as far as traction is concerned. |
