Suspension Deflection by Design
['Tire Review Staff']
Tire Review Magazine
If you look at suspension readings on a race car or a performance vehicle, you may notice that it’s actually toed out a little bit.
They use suspension bushings to incur this type of deflection to make that snappier turn into a corner or to increase the stability under braking.
What they’re using is suspension bushings that can deflect to cause this condition.
This is engineered into the vehicle with a knuckle and also the suspension mounting points on the vehicle itself.
It is critical when you’re aligning a vehicle or inspecting a vehicle to take a look at the condition of the bushings, because these will dictate how the suspension feels.
