1 (X):  Left Front Anti-Lift or Left Rear Anti-Squat

%

The resistance to lifting in a front suspension or resistance to squatting in a rear suspension due to suspension geometry during acceleration.  In a suspension with 100% anti-lift/squat the moment about the side view instant center due to weight transfer is exactly offset by the moment about the side view instant center due to the acceleration force.  See the following equations:

Front Suspensions Live Axles

acx = -(front drive ratio)/2

dtwt = slr*abs(2*acx)/(diff ratio)/track

aczleft = -(cg height)/2/(wheel base) - dtwt

aczright= -(cg height)/2/(wheel base) + dtwt

Orientation A:

dzfleft = acx*(C(3,1)-slr*C(3,5))+acx*(C(3,7)-slr*C(3,11))

dzfright = acx*(C(9,1)-slr*C(9,5))+acx*(C(9,7)-slr*C(9,11))

Orientation B:

dzfleft = acx*(-C(3,1)+slr*C(3,5))+acx*(-C(3,7)+slr*C(3,11))

dzfright = acx*(-C(9,1)+slr*C(9,5))+acx*(-C(9,7)+slr*C(9,11))

dzwleft = aczleft*C(3,3) + aczright*C(3,9)

dzwright = aczleft*C(9,3) + aczright*C(9,9)

left anti-lift = -100*dzfleft/dzwleft

right anti-lift = -100*dzfleft/dzwleft

Front Suspensions Fixed Differentials

acx = -(front drive ratio)/2

aczleft = -(cg height)/2/(wheel base)

aczright= -(cg height)/2/(wheel base)

Orientation A:

dzfleft = acx*C(3,1)+acx*C(3,7)

dzfright = acx*C(9,1)+acx*C(9,7)

Orientation B:

dzfleft = -acx*C(3,1)-acx*C(3,7)

dzfright = -acx*C(9,1)-acx*C(9,7)

dzwleft = aczleft*C(3,3) + aczright*C(3,9)

dzwright = aczleft*C(9,3) + aczright*C(9,9)

left anti-lift = -100*dzfleft/dzwleft

right anti-lift = -100*dzfleft/dzwleft

Rear Suspensions Live Axles

acx = -(1 - front drive ratio)/2

dtwt = slr*abs(2*acx)/(diff ratio)/track

aczleft = (cg height)/2/(wheel base) - dtwt

aczright= (cg height)/2/(wheel base) + dtwt

Orientation A:

dzfleft = acx*(C(3,1)-slr*C(3,5))+acx*(C(3,7)-slr*C(3,11))

dzfright = acx*(C(9,1)-slr*C(9,5))+acx*(C(9,7)-slr*C(9,11))

Orientation B:

dzfleft = acx*(-C(3,1)+slr*C(3,5))+acx*(-C(3,7)+slr*C(3,11))

dzfright = acx*(-C(9,1)+slr*C(9,5))+acx*(-C(9,7)+slr*C(9,11))

dzwleft = aczleft*C(3,3) + aczright*C(3,9)

dzwright = aczleft*C(9,3) + aczright*C(9,9)

left anti-lift = -100*dzfleft/dzwleft

right anti-lift = -100*dzfleft/dzwleft

Rear Suspensions Fixed Differentials

acx = -(1 - front drive ratio)/2

aczleft = (cg height)/2/(wheel base)

aczright= (cg height)/2/(wheel base)

Orientation A:

dzfleft = acx*C(3,1)+acx*C(3,7)

dzfright = acx*C(9,1)+acx*C(9,7)

Orientation B:

dzfleft = -acx*C(3,1)-acx*C(3,7)

dzfright = -acx*C(9,1)-acx*C(9,7)

dzwleft = aczleft*C(3,3) + aczright*C(3,9)

dzwright = aczleft*C(9,3) + aczright*C(9,9)

left anti-lift = -100*dzfleft/dzwleft

right anti-lift = -100*dzfleft/dzwleft
