MuntyScruntfundle Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hi there. I'm looking for some very general advice that I can use as a starting block. With a 4wd truck, what basic steps will help with turn in corning? In other words I'm suffering under steer getting into corners. I've managed to tune all my small trucks to do just what I want, but this 5ive (e) is a different beast! There are no servo issues, no saver slack. The last toe setting from yesterday is pretty neutral, all shocks are around 50%. As I say, I'm looking for basics, something I can build some knowledge from. Many thanks.

XV Pilot Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 It is possibly a gross oversimplification, but in general softer things grip better. So softer tyres, softer inserts, softer springs, softer shock oils, etc. Another potentially gross oversimplification is to say that you can tune for understeer or oversteer by moving your grip bias backwards or forwards. So therefore, as a broad starting point, to make your car under understeer less, you can fit softer things to the front or harder things to the back. My apologies if I was stating the obvious, but you did ask for general advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Pretty sure it's toe out at the front & toe in at the back. ( sounds like something out of a dodgy adult film ??). Have a fiddle with that & see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
