RUT following.... and Camber adjustments

[Bob Pommer]

The new snake ROCKS... I turned 500 miles on it mid last week and started getting on it... [******]... the sensation of speed is way greater than the ferrari ever was... Could be the wind in the hair or the screaming sidepipes 2 feet from your ear... The sound the exhaust makes above 4k on the tach is freaking amazing... they got the sound right...

My only issue, (minor nit really) is that the car trams every rut in the road. So much so that if you do not have both hands FIRMLY on 11 and 2 you could very easily find your self in on coming traffic...

I had the same problem with the 550M but when I had the dealer dial in negative .3 camber in the front suspension (primarily to reduce understeer at the track) I noticed that the traming went away almost entirely...

Has anyone done this in their snake with success? If so, what was the Camber angle used. AS the car is set up to understeer slightly, any minor neg camber should make the handleing a little more to the neutral side.

Thanks in advance.

I recall hearing somewhere that some toe in will also cure this problem. Don't quote me tho. Someone else will know for sure.

I've also found half a degree negative camber worked well for me on other makes - its a cheap adjustment - why not try it and see if it helps -

if steering is not too heavy you can add some more positive castor as well, but do one thing at a time so you know what works best

If you increase the front camber you might want to increase the rear camber somewhat as well, as increasing just the front negative camber will make the car less understeer-prone than the stock settings.
