@@lolbosss I haven't owned a motorcycle, but I think, that you can't just turn it 90 degrees and you would have to make (a lot of) modifications to make it do that
Well, seeing as my uncle hacks them up for derby's, scraping, or just making something more versatile for use around his farm. I'd say in 5 or so years. It'll definitely have picked up traction as a source of money for people
He just might be an informal cultural ambassador as well. Setting aside the actions of our respective governments, ordinary people aren't really that different, once we get to know each other...
@@SoggyCoffeeAddict ah yes, two of the most divisive cultural issues we face today Wait, what do you mean by "how they prefer their kool-aid"? Like how watered down they make it?
@@mikkelklein5011 ROFLI guess the last 20 years of owning, modifying and banger racing about a dozen RWD Ponys and participating in autocross as well as winter fun in parking lots have been a lie! Thank you so much for waking me up out of my coma! LOL!
@@mikkelklein5011 Judging by your, inappropriate use of commas it's clear that you yourself don't know, what you're saying. Either way, I'm off to pick up a 4G63 engine tomorrow morning for my RWD Hyundai that definitely can't be drifted. Not ever!
mcpherson has only one wishbone attachment, as a result the spring compression changes both the height and camber angle of the wheel whenever it is compressed, any suspension compression means a tilting of the wheel around the point where the suspension attaches to the frame. sla uses wishbones attaching on top and bottom, as a result the wheel can be held closer to parallel to its neutral position independent from how compressed the suspension is currently, camber can be controlled much better, it is the more expensive solution though.
The steering wheels must not be parallel when turning. Their axes must converge at the center of the turning radius. The best way to do this is to make sure a line projected from the steering knuckle through the kingpin arrives at the center of the rear axle. This steering knuckle-kingpin angle is called the Ackerman angle.
@@brynyard Higher weight capacity, easier maintenance, lower weight. I'd imagine this Lada uses double wishbone front suspension is due to the smaller overall size of that type of suspension, and a Lada is rather short in the front as evidenced by its thin 1.4L straight 4 engine taking up most of the depth of the engine bay. Double wishbone has its advantages in driving behavior however, in that the wheels maintain contact with the road more evenly under cornering. Another benefit is that the camber stays constant under steering and the steering angle doesn't change as the suspension compresses. It does sacrifice some comfort however as it has higher un-sprung weight. Having unequal length control arms between top and bottom (a very small difference) means the camber can increase under compression, meaning the tyres maintain a flat contact surface on the outer side and the inner side also maintains the same flat contact. Macpherson however takes up less width despite being a rather tall setup, and this allows for more room in the engine bay at the cost of a slightly longer front end. Comfort is enhanced by the absence of the upper control arm which means engineers can insulate the cabin against vibrations from the suspension. Camber changes under compression however, and its tall height makes the ride height also higher, and its tall and straight-up struts make wide low offset wheels something that can't be used. Overall the double wishbone is better for performance and road stability but in the long run Macpherson is more affordable and easier to repair should anything break. Not to mention that double wishbone has a lot more components that could break compared to Macpherson. So neither is really "better" than the other, its just that double wishbone is better for sports cars and track cars whereas for anything that doesn't go fast all the time, Macpherson is better. Its all about where its being used.
@@Avetho Wishbones are quite common on trucks (and I mean real trucks, nut just big pickups) , are you saying they can't handle it? The improved geometry way outperforms the added weight, the struts can be (and in most cases are) hollow tube steel that don't add much compared to McPerson, so the main advantage is cost. And ironically BMW, who brags more than any other "domestic" brand about it's performance, cuts cost where it matters the most (and gets "outperformed" by a Lada). They put in aluminium radiators that needs (special) fluid change every year to not break, but they can't "afford" a proper front suspension. Most likely because it's "tradition".
Garage 54 School of car customization. Seriously, imagine this level of skill at your local shop. Take your anything into the shop, tell the guy I want something insane. A couple of weeks later, pick your anything up and it works, maybe not pretty, but definitely working. Best part is it’s not a ridiculous amount of money, according to desires a lot, but not ridiculous.
the AutoVaz VAZ2105 (known as a lada in export markets) is derived from the fiat 124, so some decent engineering did get carried over. early examples used AutoVaz produced clones of the fiat 124's pushrod engine, but the design proved outdated and unreliable so a new AutoVaz overhead cam design was soon used.
I wish I had your machine shop! To get closer to 90%, you’ll need a curve on the inside of the control arm like car the picture. The greater that curve can be the better the steering angle. These videos are not just fun, they are educational. Thanks guys! You’re the best!!! I had a Jeep Cherokee XJ. It had the best, smallest turning circle of any car over ever owned. The CJ style Jeep’s are probably better yet. But I was more than happy with the XJ!
a London Taxi can manage a pretty impressive steering angle and turning circle. they have to do this to meet the requirement that they have to be able to turn around in the small turning space in Savoy court, outside the Savoy hotel necessitating a turning circle of 8 metres (21ft) or less. Also notably Savoy court is the only road in the UK where you drive on the right.
a while back i designed a steering system that pulls the wheel in while turning, so it doesn't stick out when at full lock, maybe it could be used as a full 90 steering system. could be interesting for parking with wheel motors.
if it stays inside the wheel wells the whole time you could put skirts on all 4 wheels as opposed to just the rear that has big potential for aero and undercarriage design
@@manitoba-op4jx it was a steering spindle, on a steering spindle, pulling one back would move the whole wheel in an arc under the wheel well, then pull the other forward, the edge of the wheel would barely poke out. it of course, without strict maintenance would get kinda floppy. then there's the possibility of moving the steering arms in opposite directions, it'd go full 90 degrees, maybe more. it might be fun for experimental vehicles, but nobody would go that far for a production model.
The problem is driving the wheels at that kind of angle. It would probably require some kind of janky double CV joint with a little shaft in the middle and something to hold that shaft section so it doesn't flop around or bind up. I'm not even sure it would even be physically possible to fit such a thing in a near-stock suspension setup.
@@MrNukealizer Exactly, would be really unreliable, the tiny shaft would pop out a lot and if it would work for some turns it would be clicking, the shaft would be stressed out and the torque loss would eat up like additional 10% of the engine
Years ago I had an old Triumph Herald, the standard steering allowed extreme turns like this. You could do a u-turn even on a narrow road, accompanied by a whole load of tyre scrub!
idk what makes me more upset, not able to understand Russian, or this channel not being in English... but that doesn't matter, this channel has the BEST translator ever. especially when he does the female voices
I had a go cart one time where you could turn hard to the left and the steering would flip. Turn right and you go left, turn left and you go right. Like to see your driving skills doing this. Lots of time in the ditch.
@@randomvideosn0where as a certified mechanic, I warn you about that...your tyres are probably 4ply therefore rated at 30-32 psi cold. If you go over that you run the risk of over inflation which leads to premature center wear and leaves tyres more prone to punctures
@@DocDewey You are correct, 4 ply (2 steel, 1 polyester, 1 polyamide) but they're rated for 51 psi. My car is so light and 95% of my driving is highway so these things will dry rot in Maryland ozone long before they wear out.
Great video, best way to increase turning circle is to have a steering rack on both fron and back axels, which work together like what you find on some heavy duty trucks and busses, that mod to an extreme level would be nice to see on a car 👍😎👌
Hi garage 54 , we recently lost a fellow gearhead to cancer and he had requested people to do burnouts in his honor #BURNOUTSFORWYATT . Will you oblige? Lets make it viral world wide!! He was 4 years old.
