Lifting a wheel going around corners

Post by **senergy** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 1:00 am

Since i got the extractors it seems too easy to lift the front passenger tyre when going around corners. Havent tried to hard to lift the driver wheel yet.
Im not sure if its the extra torque from the extractors or im just driving too fast. The Sway bar is still solid on the front... The rear shocks are pretty new Monroe's with stock leaf springs.
Im guessing i can stiffen up the rear springs to stop the car twisting but then the ride will get to bumpy. Any one have and idea how i can stop the wheel lifting..

F.y.i. its a narrow track feroza with 2inch susp lift and large offset 30" tyres.

When I had my lovely hard lifted rear springs I was easily getting the inside rear to lift around roundabouts. I can still do it now when pushing it hard, but would highly recommend not stiffening the rear end!

BTW it's probably lifting because the front end is wound up so high to match the rear lift? You would be running out of downward travel.

you are probably right. Was going to lower the front a 1/2inch since the back seems to have sagged already. Might shave the bump stops while im a it.

Im just use to my last car which was so stiff i could jack up the front left adn the rear left would come up at the same time.

My narrow track Sierra with longer shackles and 2" springs used to lift a rear wheel around every corner. Was a bit annoying!!

hey senergy i got the same prob but only on takeoffs. dial in a bit of rpm, dump the clutch an the left front wheel launches bout 3 inchs off tha ground. but its all good cause it gallops away real good. no other probs though.

ha ha ha.. i did the same thing a couple of months ago... i had just moded the intake and it sounded real nice... there were some commodore bogans crusing around and pulled up next to me... so I waited for the lights... little bit of revs (bout 5000) and dumped it...
next traffic lightst all i hear out the back window of the commodore is... do another mono!!!

oh yeah.. and rallying yesterday... every corner under accel would lift the inside front wheel... kinda cool, but not real safe when you think about it

Part of that will be the anti-roll if it is on - I jacked my right u pthe other day, and the left started coming up with it :-)

Soften the suspension, not harden, and the wheels will keep better contact....
