1. [6pack] Race Car Quandry (score: 1): Author: Robert Lang <lang@isis.mit.edu>; Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:20:21 -0400 (EDT); I was doing a normal pre-race check on the race car last night and found cracks in both rear trailing arms. I guess I need to deal with this: http://web.mit.edu/blang/www/trailingarm-crack.jpg I hav; /html/6pack/2008-08/msg00094.html (7,862 bytes)

Do your bump stops actually touch when and where they are supposed to? Is the other TA cracked in a similar place? I tried putting in a shock in coil; /html/6pack/2008-08/msg00095.html (9,766 bytes)

Could it be damage incurred on the race track? Might be good to look for other chips and sand/polish the; /html/6pack/2008-08/msg00096.html (8,492 bytes)

I just haven't been watching that closely. That said, I don't recall that the crack was there in MAR when I installed the nylatro; /html/6pack/2008-08/msg00097.html (8,974 bytes)
5. Re: [6pack] Race Car Quandry (score: 1): Author: Robert Lang <lang@isis.mit.edu>; Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 15:01:56 -0400 (EDT); Note - these tires are insanely sticky. I pick up 1/2 pound of gravel driving around the paddock on each tire when they are warm/hot. So we could be just seeing a combo of very high CoF and higher th; /html/6pack/2008-08/msg00098.html (7,537 bytes)

With that said I don't know if you would run into a more servere bump stop problem. I have his setup on my driver because I have never l; /html/6pack/2008-08/msg00099.html (9,295 bytes)

Re: [6pack] Race Car Quandry (score: 1): Author: "Navarrette, Vance" <vance.navarrette@intel.com>; Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 14:57:21 -0700; Given that the crack originates (seemingly) on the lower side of the casting, and given that it originates between the hub and the shock, a hypothesis is that it is cracking because; The spring is t; /html/6pack/2008-08/msg00100.html (9,991 bytes)

Re: [6pack] Race Car Quandry (score: 1): Author: Robert Lang <lang@isis.mit.edu>; Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 22:33:19 -0400 (EDT); Good theory, however the crack is actually on the outer flat between the hub carrier and the spring pan. That said - I am running springs that are roughly 600 pounds, so they are pretty stiff. The s; /html/6pack/2008-08/msg00101.html (8,799 bytes)

Re: [6pack] Race Car Quandry (score: 1): Author: "Scott Tilton" <triumph.tr4@gmail.com>; Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2008 19:04:11 -0400; What Vance said seems to make sense, even if the crack is between the hub carrier and the spring pan. Take the situation where the trailing arm has compressed the spring and the shock has finally hal; /html/6pack/2008-08/msg00110.html (9,930 bytes)
