Holy cow, time flies! It’s been 2 years since the last video. I hope everything is going well with you guys 🙏. Please give us an update on the channel ❤
Hi, Amazing Video It looks like you have done Anything that has to do with all parts of suspension. I am working on a 55 year old TR6 with some archaic designed parts. I am looking to do some spirited driving, ie autocross. Of the aftermarket “kits” ie mustang II, or others, are there any that stand out as being better? The car weighs about 2500 lbs. I have an aftermarket full square tube frame, so cutting off a frame section are replacing it is not a concern. I am hoping this opens up many suggested choices. Thanks in advance. And yes please to more videos like this. You made the explanation much better than some other videos I have watched. KJ
Wondering if does exist a parametric suspension simulator which is not into a videogame, to tweak some of these parameters and see under work how it affects the others... Like the one you made the slides with! :) Great lesson tho, thanks!!
I have 2006 R 350, 160, 000 miles on it. The check engine light was on when I bought it. No problems so far🤞 I have 2 panoramic sunroofs, and a cold ac. Good sound system. The best car I owned so far.
Hi, Can you help me with this question, please? 2008 ML350 W164, I was replacing the Cam Adjuster when the chain jumped and I had to take the timing cover off to time the chain. I have to take both lower adn upper oil pans out to put the cover back on. I did take out the lower pan but to remove the UPPER pan it looks like I need to lift the engine, My question is: To lift the engine, is it removing the engine mount bolts, Torque convertor bolts, and unbutton the engine from the trans or is there something else to it? DOes the transmission neeeds support when lifting the engine? Thank you for your time.
I have a 2008 s63 with original headbolts. The car has 120k miles. Should i change the Headbolts? Or it shouldnt be a problem at this mileage since its already 120k?
I'm building a hybrid cross kart slash , go kart / something lol. Anyway fully independent front and rear suspension . . Double wishbone rear end. I didn't pass a single mat class past 7th grade so obviously I can't to math lol. Anyhow I designed every aspect of my suspension using 4 ft cardboard sheets, thumb tacs, string lines, and 1 to 1 mock ups of my control arms and spindles. Worked amazingly well with no math. Moral of the story pay attention in school 😂😂
What was the reason for making the rocker plane geometry at an angle from the lower control arm pivot axis? Would that not make the motion ratio more digressive with wheel travel?
The whole problem with the upper control arms having to be short enough to camber gain in corners without being so short that if screws you during squat/lift is why I love the simplicity of de-dion and/or plain beam axle, particularly on the rear. Never have I seen a rear-independent geometry that could do better than slight negative camber during cornering at the rear at the outside, with less than 2-deg static negative camber, and even on those the inside is quite literally on the edge of the tire. That's to say nothing about what happens during acceleration. Meanwhile, De-Dion and beam axles always keep the tires square (disregarding deformation) no matter what, and particularly, the average contact patch size between sides is greater than the combined contact patch side of a corner optimized independent that isn't straight garbage in a straight line. The front is a bit of a different story given that Caster and KPI give you additional camber gains, not to mention the packaging and steering geo issues that a front beam axle has (let alone a driven front beam axle), but even then, if you solve a couple issues, you could still theoretically see several gains from the consistent geometry of a beam axle.
Crazy informative video!! Thanks for this. At 15:57, there's a hose pipe that seems to be hanging loose disconnected right behind the brown ground wires. Do you know where it attaches? The top part attaches to a hard steel line which goes into the intake manifold. But the bottom part is a mystery. This hose is also loose on mine and causing errors.
Hello, watch your video brought me back to life I have the same problem with my 2009 r350 Please help me with the links of the air bags, I'm going to dare to do it myself🙏🏽😭
