catastrada Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 4 turns = 1 degree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S47zz Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Does you track rods have metric or UNF threads?? If Metric whats the pitch of the thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drB Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 it's a non metric thread on mine, not sure about later cars though? see car. buy car. race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul McKenzie Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 What are you adjusting - Toe or Camber? If the latter then 4 turns on the top link is one degree. If you're adjusting Toe then it's the bottom link and I am not aware of any simple relationship. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Procter Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 It has to be toe, you can't change the camber on Adam's car Adam don't forget to measure the tracking when you're in the car, it will be different by +/- 20 mins or so without driver Suggest asking Ben or Trev how many turns??

Mark Gregory Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Adam: I reckon the answer is 44 minutes. Are you sitting comfortably? I've measured the thread on the track rod end on my Supers car (I think they are the same on LA cars), it is 1/2" 20 TPI (threads per inch), hence 1 turn is 1.27mm. The track rod end acts at approx. 100mm from the hub centre, hence the angle is tan(-1) of 0.0127 which equals 0.7276 degrees or 43.66 minutes. I bet you wish you hadn't asked...........

stevefoster Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 And here it is One turn of the top joint requires 0.285 turns of the track rod to redress the toe in/out.

PAC Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I not researched it, but I think Gays have the most simple relationships. 😬 ( 🙆🏻) But then the Grass is always greener etc! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 One turn of the top joint requires 0.285 turns of the track rod to redress the toe in/out. Reducing negative camber will require the track rods to be lengthened to compensate, yes? 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester Racing 7s Ecosse™ 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
