I found a list of easy to follow articles on most things suspension related(sorry Ralphy there is no mention of rear steer). These articles make understanding automotive suspension, child's play..... OK they are about tuning the suspension of an RC car BUT the info still applies to our cars and is easy to understand. What I like about them is they break down the individual aspects of suspension. They not only explain, what it is and how it works, BUT they also give real world applications as to how these changes will effect handling. I had been to this site before when researching ackerman angle but I had no idea how much other good info was available.
How changing Wheelbase affects your rc car or truck.
What is Caster and what is does.
How Camber affects handling.
How Toe-in and Toe-out affects your handling.

How Spring Weight and Spring Preload affects handling.
What Shock Damping is and how changing it can affect performance.

IRSstang: Neat info but the author was kind of vague. Does any one know of any sites that explain how to set Ackerman angle on front steer suspensions? Every thing I have found explains how to set Ackerman on rear steer front suspensions only.
