Left Front
Increase
rebound setting on LF if car rolls on RR during corner exit.
Softening
the front rebound will allow the front to transfer more weight,
for slow slick tracks.
Stiffening
the front rebound will create a more stable platform on high
speed tracks
To
control loose or tight conditions on corner exit, alter the
split between LF/RF rebound. More rebound on the LF than the
RF will tighten up the car.

Right
Front If car rolls on RF during
corner entry, increase rebound setting on LR.

Rear Softening the LR rebound will tighten
the car on corner entry.
Stiffening
the rebound on the LR will loosen the car on corner entry.

Right
Rear If car rolls on RR during corner exit,
increase rebound on LF.
On
a rough track with a cushion, stiffening the RR rebound will
make the car more stable when you slide onto the cushion.

Tuning Tips

Left
Front Increase
rebound setting on LF if car rolls on RR during corner exit.
The
left side rebound settings should be used to control weight
transfer to the right side of the car. Shocks do not change
the amount of weight transfer, only the time it takes to transfer
the weight.
The
LF shock affects the car mostly on corner exit, By adding
rebound damping you will loosen the car up on corner exit.
Increasing
left side rebound damping will increase left side tire temperatures
while decreasing right side tire temperatures.
|
Right
Front If
car rolls on RF during corner entry, increase rebound setting
on LR.
The
Right Side shocks will be adjusted to control the energy of
the compressed springs. When the right side springs are loaded
we want the weight to come off those springs, in a smooth
manner with little or no oscillation.
Added
rebound damping to the RF or RR shocks will lessen the oscillation
on that particular corner.

Left
Rear Increase rebound setting on left rear
if car rolls on RR or RF during corner exit.
The
LR shock has most of its effect on corner entry. By adding
rebound damping you will loosen the car up on corner entry.
By
adding rebound to the front of the car, both sides equally,
it will tighten the car some.

Right
Rear If car rolls on RR during corner exit,
increase rebound on LF.
By
adding rebound to the rear of the car, both sides equally,
it will loosen the car up some.

ADDITIONAL
TIPS
Adjust
only enough rebound into each shock absorber to eliminate the undesirable
characteristic. Adjusting too much rebound may mask a handling problem
of another sort.
On
a rough race track, which causes alot of body motion, adding more
rebound will make the car more stable.
Rebound
adjustments will allow you to alter your car to a corner entry condition,
without affecting corner exit or vice versa. Adjustments should
be made using driver input, visual observation, and tire temperature.
