Lack of suspension knowhow...

[Callum]

Hello, I wondered if anyone knew any good websites for me to look up on various types of suspension and how it all works as it's something i really know nothing about!

thanks:)

Websites? No.

Carroll Smith's "___ To Win" books are a good starter for SLA suspensions.

Milliken's "Race Car Vehicle Dynamics" is a little more in depth regard suspensions in general but is NOT starter material. More of a reference book.

But be wary of anything that ya read...

Look in the Forum Thread Index. The Books, Software Links thread recommends maybe 100 titles. Then there's the Education Resource thread.

Well, a truly basic website, if you know nothing is How Stuff Works.

A more advanced site is The Car Bible.

A nice site for beginners is the one at Monroe: Suspension systems, or the Technical Training (really basic) page.

If you are more "into it", I also like the site at Racing Car Technology for the basics of shock absorber tuning. It's interesting to compare that site with the one they wrote many years ago, where the errors are in yellow.

Finally, do not tell anybody outside the Internets that if you go to The Pirate Bay and search dynamics you could get a copy of the book on Car Dynamics by Springer. God, forgive me... (God might forgive, but RIA won't).
