Steering Geometry 1

Google Sheet : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UdNtJ2JW_Dsz32KHX9yYVaQtC8yFzJhvlKouu0mwPPs/edit?usp=sharing

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.
