Thrust angle.

[imprezaworks]

In simple terms what is it?

 

[davo172]

Depends on the position ! :tongueclosed:

 

[imprezaworks]

Because that’s how it happens

Lol.

Flol ! Quality !

Used to be a sensible forum. Inmates have taken over.

Thrust angle is what's applied to steering geometry to counteract camber of the road etc, and keep the car in a straight line.

 

[imprezaworks]

What would you say was good/bad.

Calm down children.
If you have not got the rear wheels pointing the right way, you are wasting your time messing about with the fronts.
Food for thought.

Want it as low as possible I.e. 0 on the rear.

I always thought of this as a 'how pissed is the chassis' or 'how much does it crab' value.

 

[imprezaworks]

Was only curious really as mine is 0.10.

So is mine.

 

[adamlstr]

Yeah 6 minutes of thrust angle isn't much.



(That's what she said)

 

[imprezaworks]

That’s okay then.

What would it mean if it was a -0.10?

Pointing the other way 😂

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol fair enough.

How low you can get the thrust angle on the rear is how well the car will drive been trying to sort mine out think it’s as near as I can get it was flickering between 0.01 and 0.02

 

[JamesBryan]

I don't actually know, just a guess.

Think it was a thread you replied in making me ask the question. Never looked into it before.

How have you made it lower?

Tinker.

6 minutes, alright Mr Stud. Jeez I've done it 3 times in 6 minutes with a shower, before and after!

Don't forget the cuddle and cigarette.

Ran a bath, took five mins iirc.

Reckon that`s as good as it gets!

It’s all done with toe shims mate from pms best off emailing your printout to nick and tell him what size wheels your on and he can work out what size you need , if it’s a road car go for a smidge of toe in or if it’s track some people like it zero toe but will make the rear end more lively

 

[imprezaworks]

Drives spot on tbf. So unless it was massively (none placebo) noticeable I won’t bother.

Was just curious tbh mate.
