Suspension Geometry - Part 1 (Camber, Toe, Caster, KPI, Scrub Radius)

[johnsmith-oykx]

This is 'the' BEST video on suspension geometry...Thanks a lot ! (I worked as an automotive diagnostic equipment service engineer for years, and i know what i'm talking about) Please do videos like this and don't worry about the length of the video... its good info...

This is the best video about suspension geometry I've seen so far. Really helpful how you actually showed the effects of different adjustments in geometry!

[stahlino]

You did way more than just your homework! Your explainations combined with your geometry animations make a complex and mostly "hidden" part of your car unterstandable for every level of car enthusiast!

This is really good stuff. Steering/suspension geometry is one of the hardest things for me to understand conceptually as someone with no real practical automotive or engineering experience, just an interest. I'd love to build a little sports car like your own someday, it seems so cost effective for the amount of thrill you get.

Man you are a great teacher; you can take a learner from zero to pro. That's an incredible skill that not much teachers have. Your explanation is so clear and simple that a beginner can understand, and your understanding and fluency is so good even going into advanced concepts.
I'm not even gonna start talking about the great animation and the amount of work and dedication you put in that, but man that's a master piece.
I'd like to thank you on behalf of the world!

I am a former NASCAR race car fabricator, Driver and this is the BEST chassis geometrr video I have ever seen in my life!!!

[legdfishman]

Just came up in my feed as "recommended"
Glad I checked it out. I've learned more about terminology and the mechanics of steering in this one video than anything else I've watched. New subscriber!

Okay, so let me tell you how helpful this video was. This is the most helpful video on suspension that I found on YouTube so far. I am 35 years old and I am a life long learner. This has been the most amount of education I have received in such a short time in years. Thank you so much for this. It is Thanksgiving evening and I'm lonely and I am drunk and I am watching videos and suspension and this was such a joy to watch.

This is the most complete and easy to digest YouTube video on suspension geometry I have seen yet. Thank you for including all of Caster's effects as well as reminding us about the pros and cons of KPI.

[slimshim]

Indeed. The part demonstrating the caster as it 'sinks into the ground' makes this the best video on suspension geometry out there.

Yeah ! Great diagrams and explanations. I just went to a motorcycle meeting, and I have a background in cycling. I owned a few suspension bikes, and could not get them working properly. I previously decided to invest in a really good BMX, that's all.
But, looking at the motorcycles. It was odd to see. Large rear tyres, tyres with an odd shape, and weird orientation of the springs.
I read today motorcycles have 57 x more accidents than cars !
Yet, they're a lot cheaper. I might save money through investing in some skill hopefully.

I had an awful positive camber on the left front tyre that was causing excessive wear on the outside of the tyre, this was so extreme that the tyre ended up with a conical shape, I rotate the tires inside out to compensate wear but it messed with the straight line response the car is now turning left and I have to compensate, a camber correction was made at the alignment shop and I wanted to understand more about the steering and suspension angles, this video was the best I've found about it. Thanks!

The BEST Teacher! Wow, I'd no idea about any of these topics 20 mins ago and I feel I've learned something very important... Great job!

[JCOgle]

This is a fantastic video. I've been racing for decades, and have read many books on suspension geometry, but do not consider myself a master of the topic. You are, and this video brought it together in a way I haven't found elsewhere. Great job. I appreciate your efforts.

[the_lyrical_woodsman]

Finally I can learn in an easy to understand way this stuff! Super impressive!

[gregsettle]

Hands down this is the best explanation of steering geometry I've ever watched! Respect!

[hammerphilosopher]

I like the format and the way you explain, it's awesome, keep it up!

[kidnamedfinger]

This video helped so much, thank you. The shopping cart example was amazing, and I know know why more positive caster can lead to more negative camber when cornering!

Fantastic video! 3d visualisation makes very easy to grasp the concepts
