The key point is that there is no iteration as is usually done. All alignment methods I have seen rely on measuring, tweaking, measuring, tweaking, etc. There are many problems with this: for the DIYer it means expensive tools or settling the suspension after each adjustment. My thought was to completely short circuit all of that and find a way to

do this procedure without any iteration. The only way to achieve this is to model all the important geometric details of the suspension and the measurement process, and then calculate the adjustments including all the interactions between them. This is what I have tried to do in the spreadsheet which I`ll provide a link to in a moment. The spreadsheet contains all the key suspension geometry factors for the Porsche 996, and compensates for a number of other issues. For example, when measuring the toe in Part 4, we should have measured it with the laser beam perfectly horizontal. But we didn`t, we measured it with the beam pointing down a bit to hit a tape measure lying on the ground. Is this is a big factor YES! When dealing with toe of a few minutes of arc (5 minutes for Porsche specs), and a camber angle in the 1-2 degree range (12-24 times the toe angle), even a small deviation from horizontal affects the measured toe angle by much more than the toe angle itself. I must warn anyone using this method that although I have spent a considerable amount of time testing and improving the spreadsheet on my own 996, and it seems to work well, but only if the suspension setup and measurements in earlier parts are rigorously followed! I was having trouble getting my toe to come in where it should be (the steering wheel was pointed just slightly off center when going straight). Finally I discovered ” after not following my own...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
