NOTHING controls housing rotation on a leaf car other than the front segment. If you roll the housing, the front isn't stiff enough. It really IS just that simple
Then why do we need shackles we should just take them off
If the rear seg is only to hold the up i can put a car on the hoist and twist the rear end 4 deg with the rear end on stands will you stand under the spring i will pull the shackles off. no not unless you want to get hit in the head.
The rear seg is a tuning ad
NO.....its not. What was the "old school" trick years ago. You added front half leaves, clamped the front pack solid and took the clamps off the rear......WHY did you do all that? to make the front segment solid as possible to prevent housing windup and to free up the rear to help it plant the tire. On split mono leafs, the "trick" if you want to call it that is use as straight and stiff a front segment as possible, then you just use whatever rear segment makes the car sit where you want it to. It has absolutely ZERO to do with how the car works. It holds up the car, period, end of story. SHOCKS control the "hit" of the tire and housing. This is suspension 1o1
