Ride Height Adjustment

19

Measurement:• Ride height is defined as the distance between the ground and the

cars floor (Not plank)• Correct measurement location shown below:

• Front: level with Front axle centre, just behind nylon skid• Rear: level with Rear axle centre, on flat section of floor

Adjustment Pushrod length change Front Ride height change Rear Ride Height change

One flat on adjuster 0.5 mm 0.86 mm 1.40 mm

Half turn on adjuster 1.5 mm 2.59 mm 4.20 mm

Full turn on adjuster 3 mm 5.18 mm 8.40 mm

Half turn on lower rod end 0.6 mm 1.09 mm 1.78 mm

Full turn on lower rod end 1.3 mm 2.18 mm 3.56 mm

Adjustment:• Raise car on air jacks (ensure safety's or skates are in place)• Loosen pinch bolt on pushrod• Turn adjuster by required amount (Refer to table below, 22mm spanner)

• Ensure no more than 13mm thread showing• For more adjustment reset the adjuster and wind out lower rod end

• Tighten pinch bolt to 16Nm (5mm hex key + 7mm spanner)• Lower car and re-measure

13mm MAX

Page 20: G58 Engineers Handbook - ginetta.com

Corner Weight

20

Adjustment:• Make small changes in ride height and document each change• To increase a given corner weight raise the ride height on that corner

• This will also increase weight on the diagonally opposite corner• And reduce weight on the other two corners

• Always attempt to maintain ideal ride heights. • E.g. rather than one full turn up make two smaller changes of

half turn up on one side, half turn down on other side• Ensure left – right ride heights difference is as small as possible• Front ride height more critical than rear

• For small changes we recommend changing rear ride heights to keep the front aero platform level

Measurement:• Lower car onto corner weight scales• Bounce front and rear end simultaneously• Let car settle • Target:

• 0-2kg difference corner weight across front axle• 50/50 weight distribution left – right with driver weight• Same ride height across front axle

Page 21: G58 Engineers Handbook - ginetta.com

Camber Adjustment

21

Measurement:• Using Set Up Wheel:

• Remove Toe measuring bar and torque wheel nuts to 150pound foot/203 newton meter

• Bounce car to settle springs/dampers• Use digital angle measurement gauge where shown

• Ensure gauge is zeroed/calibrated correctly• Take three readings and average the result

• Using Wheel and Tyre:• Torque wheel nuts to 300 pound foot/407 newton meter• Set tyre pressures to 1.85 Bar• Bounce car to settle springs/dampers• Place straight edge up against wheel rim face

• Ensure straight edge doesn’t sit on tyre• Use digital angle measurement gauge

• Ensure gauge is zeroed/calibrated correctly• Take three readings and average the result

Camber/Toe Relationship

22

Camber Adjustment Toe Correction Required

+1 camber shim(0.7mm) / +0.2 deg camber ~1 flat toe in / 1.2mm toe in / 0.4mm longer toe link

-1 camber shim(0.7mm) / -0.2 deg camber ~1 flat toe out / 1.2mm toe out / 0.4mm shorter toe link

Camber Adjustment:• Rear toe changes 1.2mm out when adding a 0.7mm shim

Toe Adjustment:• Rear camber increases by 0.04 deg when adding 1.2mm toe out

• Front camber and toe are independent of each other• Rear camber and toe are dependent upon each other

• We recommend checking the tracking after a camber change

• Camber change rotates upright over axis 1• Toe change rotates upright over axis 2

Page 23: G58 Engineers Handbook - ginetta.com
