BlueBDA Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Can anyone direct me to alignment specs for a 1997 Caterham? Is there a "garage" section to this forum, where reference materials are stored? If so I can't seem to find it.
fotsyr Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Toe out, 0.20 degrees, neg camber 1 degree 20' +/- .15
coffee break Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=15506&stc=1 I have a 1995 and this is from the assembly manual. Toe is the only adjustment available.
Kitcat Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) As I recall, rake is adjustable, ditto camber, in addition to toe.Toe "in" makes the car more stable, toe "out" adds jittery-ness but makes it easier to initiate a turn (good for track days and auto-X). As is negative camber and lots of rake. Edited June 9, 2019 by Kitcat
fotsyr Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Rake is adjustable if you have adjustable spring perches. Rake should be no more than 1" A1997 caterham would have adjustable upper wishbone, so camber is adjustable.
