Quote: I gave this alot of thought! IMO the Caltrac design does indeed change the IC even with the single point front spring mount. For the reasons already stated by me in my posts and the reasons stated above on both of acex,s post.
Simply put! From the Two/three points of contact from the Caltrac front lever. Its more then just a Leverage thing. mike
Sorry...the leaf spring applies the force to the chassis in ONE place and ONE place ONLY. That place is the instant center. You don't move the pivot point, you don't move the IC. Moving the Caltrac bar up or down, simply changes the amount of force placed on the pivot bracket. Simple physics.
