Hey, how about we design a suspension and axle set that’s razor‑tight but still lets us push the limits—think a setup that’s perfectly balanced yet gives us a little edge for the next challenge. What do you say?
Sure thing, let's get those bolts prepped. Start with a double‑wishbone setup, track 1.70 m, wheelbase 2.80 m. Use 16 mm wheel hub bolts tightened to 260 Nm – I’ll double‑check with a calibrated torque wrench. Replace the old ball joints with 12 mm carbon‑fiber ones, torque them to 30 Nm and remember: ball joints are underrated, they keep the steering geometry stable. Install the front axle with a 1:1 alignment, make sure the camber is +0.5° at rest. Symmetry matters—use the same lug pattern on each wheel, same size nuts. When you hit the jack, pick the one with a “good vibe”; they have personalities. After the first round of tightening, give each bolt a quick re‑torque; I like to over‑tighten by 5% just in case. That should give us a razor‑tight, balanced rig ready to push the limits.
