pro squat or anti squat which is this?

[ykcor]

i read so much anti squat / pro squat stuff and still don't know squat.
which is this ?

on flat concrete give it full power from a stand still - front of rear differential goes up. truck going forward

pics?

ykcor...what you are desrcribing IS squat...Think of sitting down to poop ANTI-squat is PREVENTING that from happpening, therefore putting that 'lost' power into more FORWARDS power...Differenet angles of different components determine how much squat you have...

Pro-squat is not an expression i am expert on but i can imagine it might be crawler-specific, (again maybe not) meaning that you WANT the truck to squat, (ie, load up its rear) in a certain situation, maybe to get a start on a climb or whatever...hope this helps...

Does anybody on here know about diddly-squat?

(Sorry its Friday afternoon and I couldn't resist. I'll go away now!:roll

pics?

it's hard to take pictures while running the truck.
but it just pulls the front of the rear diff. up going forward.
good or bad?

What's the set up? Leaf sprung?

 

[ykcor]

super soft springs from ckrc, limiter inside the shock . stage 2 bend links in rear with longer links up top and the diff angled up a little bit.

Sounds like what he is talking about is when he gives the truck gas the pinion is lifting up on the rear dif. Almost like the rod ends for the links are worn out.

Could just be fawked-up link geometry, too. If the upper links are too long, you'll have pinion-angle changes like that.

Does the pinion angle change as you cycle the suspension up and down?

i would have to say pinon angle is to high adjust back down and try again ------------------------------------------------------------------------when you think your done its time to tear it apart and rebuild it

A picture sitting flat from the top and the side,not moving...will let us see your link geometry.

The way I'm reading your posts,your describing axle wrap. There should be ZERO axle wrap with any link suspension. Leafs,yes,you'll have axle wrap....no way around it.

If the pinion angle is to high.....how the hell does that make it change under acceleration?

The rear pinion angle of my super,it's pointed UP at about 45 degrees and the shaft itself is level with the ground while sitting at rest. Does it change under acceleration?
