Geometry - Instant Center and Roll Center
All of the textbooks on suspension geometry explain instant centers and other
concepts with drawings. The WinGeo3
suspension geometry program creates the same drawings to explain your
suspension. In the graphic below
the projections used to determine the instant centers and roll center are shown
for the vehicle with Ride=-1 inch and Roll=2 degrees.
This is a great help in understanding how your vehicle reacts as the
vehicle moves.
