1.) All the Parameter have been calculated solving simple triangles using trignometric equivalents for angles.
| i | KPI | 10.0079798 | deg |
| ii | Scrub | -32.35294118 | mm |
| iii | KPI/Spindle Offset | -85.29411765 | mm |
| iv | Caster Angle | 5.376705428 | deg |
| v | Mechanical Trail | 9.411764706 | mm |
2.) As Aligning torque or moment is the product of the sum of trails (pneumatic & mechanical) and Lateral force.
| Pneumatic Trail | 25 | mm |
| Lateral Force | 2000 | N |
| Aligning/Restoring Moment | 68.82352941 | N-m |
3.) To change the sign of the scrub radius, one can change the Lower Ball Joint-Outer hardpoint.
*I have incorporated the geometry triangle in my personal sheet, where if i change the hardpoints the parametric value & suspension characterstics automatically change. Thanks to skill lync.
