Anyone know about suspension geometry?

Post by Nelso »

Can anyone explain to me in laymen's terms what antisquat is and how it effects how the car drives on road and 4WDing. I'm guessing it's how much the rear suspension compresses when accelerating, and I would assume the more antisquat, the less compression you get. Am I on the right track?

Also what is roll centre height, and roll axis angle? I know I have no idea about these two.
What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know and I don't care.
