anto lift in FWD car

[fastcarl]

as it appears there is not if any info on this subject, [well,. as far as i can find].

has anyone got any theories on this,
i do understand the basics of ani dive / squat etc. but all this is aimed at rear wheel dive cars,
SO , would it be prudent to assume that the rear anti squat geometary on a rear wheel drive competition car , if it were to drive backwards, would create a theoretical lift scenario,??. and if so as i think, by reversing the side view pickup points would this in theory create an anti lift .affectively making this act like a front wheel drive,.

i realise there are more than one way to acheive anti squat/ dive . but i would be looking to treat the front suspension on its own with no regard to the rear,.

thoughts geltleman,

What is it you want to achieve? I'm not sure how much you could actually build into a FWD car. I don't think it's the front lifting so much, as the back dropping, which stiffer springs would help sort. The RWD anti-squat can be made to lift the rear of the car at 100%+ anti-squat, but it requires an axle to twist normally, as only so much can be built into an A arm type suspension set up before you start getting other issues.

thnks for youy input kirsty, most of which i already undestood, i was more hoping than expecting the miracle cure, i was just looking to optimise my fron setup for acceleration purposes only at this point,the frame is multi adjustable.so most things can be catered for,but i suppose the stiff rear end route will do the trick.

Sorry, there's not much that I know of that can affect a FWD in the way you want. You'd need to make the front end drop (or lift less) which is bloody hard. You could try pointing the A arms down slightly, but any more than a degree or two will start knackering the steering up. It can also cause the suspension to bind up if you're not careful, as it causes the arms to twist in their mounts.
