Default Re: Wheel shimmy

To correct this you need to figure how high the chassis rises at launch and set your caster and camber to zero so that when the chassis settles back down it does not go from a toe in toe out condition which is causing the wheels to flutter back and forth--- more positive camber can correct that. the car will be a little harder to steer because of the camber but it will want to run straight without shimmying/fluttering but who cares its going straight--- pay attention when you back up BACK UP SLOW it might not back up straight it will want to go either left or right but if you go slowly you'll be OK--- get video and watch just the front end/ wheels motion and watch for the fluttering when the wheels touch you'll see what I mean
