Caliper position.
3GEComponents - 25/1/07 at 03:38 PM

Not sure if this has been asked before, but does the position of the caliper have an effect on the suspension?

eg, if it was mounted at 3 o'clock would it compress the suspension where as if it was at 9 o'clock whould it extend the suspension? or visa versa.

Thanks

John

none technical response would be none - assuming identical positioning apart from 3 or 9 o'clock as it gains / looses no additional momentum. Issue would be easy of bleeding / amount of cooling from air rushing past / is it sided - ie this end has to be 'up' for any particular reason.

What sort of rear axle set up are you running?

It as an effect BUT only on the wheel bearing loads.
