Can someone educate me on exactly what camber gain is and how to improve it? I've read some articles online and I must be having a mental block. If one was to use the extended upper ball joint to help with camber gain, what is it actually doing?
Does it help when the suspension is compressed or extended? (inside tire on a turn or outside)
Still pictures hardly ever do much justice of how hard my car is turning since it stays relatively flat thanks to the large t-bars and Hotchkiss sway bar. You can tell by the rear tires, this is a relatively hard turn. The outside (driver) front tire appears to be planted pretty good, while the inside has some negative camber is is taking the outside edge of the tire off the ground.
Would the extended ball joints help this?
I have a static -1.5 camber and 5.5 caster, but I don't think any of that really pertains to camber gain.
Now that I'm starting to learn the car and how it reacts on the autocross, I can make it understeer in a hard 90 degree turn. I don't currently run a rear sway bar, but I think I need to add one to help reduce the understeer. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Help me understand suspension gurus!
