[@errolbrinkman2721]

Hey Robert, could you do a video on car alignments. What you tend to change (toe and camber) and how this affects the handling characteristics. When would I know alignment needs changing over other suspension settings? P.S loving the content and your expertise

[@angusshotter49]

Yea this would be great 👍

[@981porsche3]

This is a big subject though. It would probably take a series.

[@Eric458ita]

Yes ,so can we put these figures on our cars.......in PS4-Granturismo😂😂😂😂

[@981porsche3]

Joao Guerreiro, Ok, so since you asked some specific questions, I’ll give it a shot, and hopefully Robert will give his perspective as well. I’m just going to focus on alignment though because that is a huge topic as it is, but I’ll try to explain the basics. The goals for a track (performance) alignment can be very different from that of a road car (street driving). For example, on a race car, you will want a little toe-in on the rear because that gives you straight-line stability and better cornering (and a street car is basically the same), but you will want toe-out on the front (like 1 to 2 mm, depending on the track). This is the opposite of a street car, where you have a little toe-in on the front too. Toe-out on the front will make the car feel “darty,” and that’s not something you want in a street car-especially with the crowning on roads for water drainage, etc, because that will accentuate the pull toward the side of the road! For the track though, a little toe-out will give you great turn-in and better cornering. Camber is very different on the track too. You will have MUCH higher negative camber settings for track driving because your cornering speeds will be much higher. You will generally run 3 1/2 - 3 7/8 degrees negative camber on the front and 3 - 3 1/4 degrees on the rear, depending on your tires and the track conditions (much less for rain though). Again, it depends on the track too. You can hone in on some good settings by checking tire temperatures with a pyrometer. When you come in from a race or practice session, etc, you can use a pyrometer to test the temperatures of the inside, middle, and outside of the tire contact patches to see if you have too much or too little camber, etc. If the temps are higher on the inside than the outside of the contact patch, you have too much negative camber, for example. The goal is to have maximum average contact patch on the track surface during cornering. Then there is caster. You actually set the caster first when doing an alignment, but since you generally don’t change the caster once it is set correctly, you make caster adjustments pretty infrequently (unless you are doing something that would change it, like changing the ride height). Once you set the caster, you will need to redo camber and toe, and every time you modify camber or toe, it will change the other. So, it becomes an iterative process with camber and toe, but you do learn how to get it close pretty quickly after you have been doing it a while. There are also things to take into consideration when you are thinking about what alignment you want based on general suspension geometry. One example is to take into consideration the fact that positive caster (where the wheel hub is in front of the top of the strut tower) has a wheel-straightening effect-the more positive, the more the steering wheel wants to straighten itself out when you let go of it in a turn. Too much positive caster will make the steering heavy though (as well as having other effects). Positive caster will also add negative camber to the outside wheel in a turn (which is good!), but that means you should take that into account when setting your front static camber. There are, of course, other setups between normal street driving and racing, so you can also do an intermediate setup, like an aggressive street setup for a road-legal sports car that you drive on backroads or take to the track on weekend track days, etc. This was really just an introduction/overview, but I hope it helps you understand the basic practical decisions you make when doing a high-performance alignment.
