Mower handling issues
« on: August 07, 2018, 10:54:42 am »
Hey guys, I'm having some chassis set up issues on my racer with a posi rear end.  I've tried different camber adjustments but now I'm thinking tire pressures are what I need to adjust.  The problem I am having is it is pushing pretty badly in a corner to the point where I have to spill a lot of speed to make the turn.  Any suggestions to what I can do for tire pressures?  I'm not sure what this would do and I don't have access to the track all the time since it's about an hour south of me. 

Thank you much for the help

Do you have any Ackerman? Where is your toe-out?

Different width rims too. Air pressure was maybe 25 on right rear for a loose track surface or up to 40 psi on a hard clay track and 2lbs on left rear

Do you have enough preload on front left should be around 20lb heavier than front right
