Corner Balance
(the details)
Pillar 2 - Corner Balance
Many folks spend a lot of money on a fancy suspension, but never invest in having the suspension tuned. Does your car turn better to the right than the left? If this is the case, then your car is out of balance!
Corner balancing is the art of adjusting the “weight” each wheel carries to ensure the car is as even as possible. Have you ever heard of “50 / 50 weight distribution”?
The goal is to have perfectly even weight distribution Right to Left, and Front to Rear, allowing the car to move consistently in all directions. The equation is::
LF RF
— = —
LR RR
In order to achieve the optimum balance, our team uses a set of Longacre digital wireless scales, special software, and experience to tweak the suspension until we are as close to perfection as your car will allow.
The image below is one of the pieces of software that we use. It shows how much weight each of the corners is bearing, as well as the cross weights.
Once balance has been achieved, we move on to the final step to handling Nirvana, the Flawless Alignment!
