Question - why does my stove-hot FWD car lift its rear wheel when I hammer a turn, yet my mate's old Alfa sits flat and goes 'round quicker?
Robert's Simple Weight Transfer calculator Works for anything with 4 wheels!
Weight transfer = ( Lateral acceleration x Weight x Height of CG ) / Track width <-- the formula
For example, an '82 Alfa Romeo GTV Tipo 116 is cornering at 0.85 g. <-- the example
Assuming its track width is 1600 mm, height of CG is 500 mm and it weighs 1250 kg with a 70kg driver, then we can calculate the weight transfer is 332 k
Assuming the car has a perfect 50:50 weight distribution between front and rear, which it does (with gearbox and clutch at rear) then we can see that eac
Therefore you can see the outside wheel has far more influence on handling than the inside wheel. This explains why we'd prefer unequal length non-pa

 hp = torque x rpm / 5252. Since 5252 is a constant we can say that hp = torque x rpm
P=2xPIxNxT 734 watts = 1 bhp (approx)
or Power (Watts) = Torque (Nm) x 2 x PI x N (revs per second),

why we'd prefer unequal length non-parallel double wishbones, because it has the least camber change on the outside wheel. Camber change is bad.
