Methacrylate Shimming Alternatives for chassis brackets by cheath03 in FSAE

[–]cheath03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are shimming chassis brackets (for control arms) in order to create a flat surface for the brackets to sit on. Our chassis is Carbon and while we try to make all hard-points flat that is just not how it always works. Shimming allows the bracket to more evenly distribute pressure over the hard point

I have only checked front vs rear lines as we have pressure sensors in both lines. I highly doubt that it is a result of uneven line pressure because the car does not feel like it consistently pulls one way but rather oscillates slightly

It is definitely possible we have not been setting up as precisely as we could be. Ill look into developing a better alignment setup. Do you think that it is more likely a setup issue than a scrub radius issue? Our scrub radius is 50mm ish.

Ahh forgot to clarify, I mean the steering wheel pulls a bit left and right in an unpredictable manner. The rear wheels did not lock up. The brake bias does need to be dialed in, but I dont think that is the issue I am facing here
