Title: Fulvia KINGPIN Angle - KPI Post by: angelorange on 05 September, 2009, 07:50:11 AM King Pin Angle - KPI
Understand it as the angle the steering (vertical) axis is displaced relative to the centre of the front tyre patch. Any idea whjat this should be on 1600 Fulvia Coupe? Thanks Title: Re: Fulvia KINGPIN Angle - KPI Post by: ncundy on 05 September, 2009, 11:28:49 AM 3 deg - 30 mins (+/- 20 mins).
Its all in the Data Book - it's worthwhile getting. Title: Re: Fulvia KINGPIN Angle - KPI Post by: angelorange on 08 September, 2009, 10:58:47 AM Many thanks.
Any idea how that would change with front spacers fitted? Title: Re: Fulvia KINGPIN Angle - KPI Post by: Philm on 08 September, 2009, 12:44:41 PM As you move the wheels outboard the axis moves away from the tyre patch. So the angle will decrease when measured from a horizontal plane. What are your aims in doing this?
Title: Re: Fulvia KINGPIN Angle - KPI Post by: ncundy on 08 September, 2009, 10:26:19 PM I gave you some bum information (the castor angle) - apologies. The KPI for a 1600 is not given but as it is the same hub as a 1300 the KPI for a 1600 I guess should be that of the 1300 (5 deg) + the difference in camber (3deg) so 8 degs ??
If you fit spacers won't you change the scrub radius rather than the KPI ?? |
