yah...better to replace on your own as this is considered damage beyond warranty terms actually

QUOTE(MR_alien @ May 4 2009, 11:39 AM) wanna ask u....what is needed to do alignment except for the machine? Possibly to fix your over-spec negative camber in the rear axle, you'd need (hopefully) shim plates to reset back the camber angle. Ask a good mechanic to inspect the rear axle assembly and how the wheels pivot. But AFAIK, Proton introduced the negative camber in the Saga is to reduce the onset of snap-oversteer ( a problem with the old saga and it's torsion tube axle). But if lopsided, definitely an issuedo u need spring? cuz i ask 1 shop...they told me the spring haven't arrive wa......lol |

QUOTE(xshiro @ May 4 2009, 01:13 PM) aha..wiki Which is a detailed explanation on why Proton introduced negative camber on the rear axle. But nice to know some do bother to read upCamber angle alters the handling qualities of a particular suspension design; in particular, negative camber improves grip when cornering. This is because it places the tire at a more optimal angle to the road, transmitting the forces through the vertical plane of the tire, rather than through a shear force across it. Another reason for negative camber is that a rubber tire tends to roll on itself while cornering. If the tire had zero camber, the inside edge of the contact patch would begin to lift off of the ground, thereby reducing the area of the contact patch. By applying negative camber, this effect is reduced, thereby maximizing the contact patch area. Note that this is only true for the outside tire during the turn; the inside tire would benefit most from positive camber. |

QUOTE(MR_alien @ May 4 2009, 10:01 PM) wow...alignment also so complicated ah? That's very basic mind you. I haven't even started about roll centres and camber offsetsi thought our blm alignment only on front 2 wheel?.....rear wheel is fixed |

QUOTE(smokey @ May 5 2009, 09:51 AM) so will a sport spring like GAB prevent the tire from touching the body since it is harder(but shorter)? or i should make do with 185/55/r15 tires? The chances are still there as it's dictated by the suspension travel allowable. In this case in order to be 100% sure that it won't sink past fender scrubbing point, I'd suggest you install those coil spring compression limiter which looks like a a piece of rubber wrapped around the coil. |
