Well, I've tried, but haven't been able to come to a solution. :peek:
My problem is Severe axel tramp in my AE86.
Where do I start.....
My suspension setup is:
GReddy coilover setup (front coilovers and rear adjustable spring perches and fully adjustable GReddy Shocks, stroke and damper), modified R31 rear end..
Now, For the last year, I have had some random positive offset wheels on the car, which were on the car when I installed my GReddy coilover kit. Never had ANY problem with axel tramp.
Recently, I have got some WORK EQUIP 01 rims, 15x8 -13 offset. When I put them on, I adjusted the rear spring perch heights and what I believe is the 'stroke' of the shocks, so the height looked 'JDM' (neg offset and low). Ever since then, I have had severe axel tramp problems.
The car drifts/slides without any problem, but if I try to spin the wheels from standing still, the axel tramp is totally fucked! Why do I need to spin the wheels from standing still you ask? Well I race in the Canberra hillclimb competition, and need to do a burnout to warm up my slicks for the 1 lap circuit.....
I have tried adjusting the spring heights and shock stroke (?) to fix the problem, but it is making no differance. Because of the variables, Iam not really asking for an off the shelf answer, but I am more asking about the causes of axel tramp with an AE86.
If someone here has the time to explain the causes of axel tramp, it might enable me to get my head around the physics of this problem, helping me with an adjustment solution. I am quite frustrated that it was once all ok with this suspension setup, but now cant return it to how it was. All advice is greatly appreciated....
Regards,
JoJo
