Default how much CR2 squat???

Hi all,

I flipped my rear pivot to reverse the built in anti-squat and the car now has much more rear traction coming out of slow tight corners. This is not news....

what I wanted to know is if anyone has used 1 wedge/washer under the flipped pivot to reduce the squat closer to 0 degrees? and if so, was it better again?

You flipped over the 2° block? Not a very good idea as you will get pro-squat as a result.

I always use a 2° block with a 0,5mm washer under the rear screws to make it 1°.

If you flip the rear pivot block use the 0 degree block and put a washer under the front to make it 1 degree.

What the team generally do is flip the 2 degree pivot block over and dremal the pips off to make the block 0. Then add .030” (.030” = 1 degree) washers under the front screws.

Some of the team run 0, some run 2 others run 4. I run 2.5 AS

(Don't forget all the CR rear pivot blocks are 3 degree toe in)

Thanks Tony, good explaination - however I'm having trouble getting my head around the dremelling from 2 degrees to 0.

If you flip the 2 degree antisquat pivot and dremel off the four pips, the pivot is now still 2 degrees, but prosquat. I think I'm right in saying (and please correct me if I'm wrong), that to adjust it to 0 degrees you would have to dremel alot more than the pips. You would have to tapper the whole inner section of the pivot - thicker at the front than the rear -and this would be a painful job to do accurately. Otherwise, adding a washer to the front mounting screws will create 1 degrees prosquat.

Please excude my crude diagram.

Have I got it all wrong?
