Too much wheel input turning

(1/2) > >>

Legendracer31:
Been having issue for awhile run short tight turned flat 1/4 mile asphalt track. Have so much wheel input in center of turn like 90 degree angle so can’t get out of turn when need to and gets car loose. I’ve tried taken higher arch into turn still hasn’t helped also if keep taking cross out gets to point where gets too loose. Run 225 to 200 RF. Am I too tight on entry?  What would be best route to go to fix? Lighter RF, more caster like 4+ split, run rear end longer on right? Feel like if don’t have to turn wheel so much I will be able to get back to gas sooner and keep car from getting loose out. Any ideas would help if anyone has had issue like this. Thanks.

I would be interested to know the rest of your spring rates. I am thinking that you should have something like a 275# spring on that RF.
As we don't know the rest of your set up, that would be my guess at this point.

225lf 215 rf 125 lr 185 rr cross around 48%. Think stiffer RF would help with that? Not sure if not thinking it right would think would make me push.

justfreaky:
Thanks for the info.
Yes, a stiffer RF spring would make you push even more.
Is the rear end square in the chassis? Are you good on entry to the turns and then it starts pushing?
The LR is pretty soft... Have you tried stiffening the RR spring?
It's hard to guess when I don't know where you are at on set up. Trying my best.

After review of your current spring rates, your set up looks more like a dirt set up than an asphalt set up. Try this as a baseline set up.
LF 260
RF 275
LR 185 or 190
RR 200
Cross around 49%
Camber
RF -5 / LF +2.5
Caster
RF - +3 / LF +0-0.5
Tire pressures - 26 psi Right side / 20 psi Left side

This should get you in the ball park and you can adjust from there.

Hope this helps! Mark
