17-4 REAR SUSPENSION tZWD>- Wheel Alignment / Anti-lift Geometry
-Wheel center lineWHEEL ALIGNMENTRl
The camber and toe-in have been set to the optimum value, in
the same way as for front-wheel alignment. in particular, the
camber is negative camber, thus improving straight-ahead
driving at high speed.
ANTI-LIFT GEOMETRY
Rl7DAAAOrdinarily, when the brakes are applied, the load is
mc1toward the front of the vehicle as the result of inertial force,
c .Jthis causes the rear end of the vehicle to try to rise upward, but
this is counteracted by the use ‘of the trailing-arm type of
suspension which forms a suspension link design with a high
“anti-lift” effect.
In other words, braking force
F is divided into force compo-
nents
F, and F,; F, acts in the direction that contracts the rear
spring, so that the“lift” can be suppressed.
