In order to determine a basic WHEEL RATE is the actual rate SUSPENSION FREQUENCY In order to determine WHEEL
spring setup, two important of a spring acting at the tire refers to the number of RATE and SUSPENSION
inputs are required: WHEEL contact patch. This value is ciliations or “cycles” of the FREQUENCY, you must first
RATE and SUSPENSION measured in lbs./in., just as suspension over a fixed time determine MOTION RATIO. A
FREQUENCY spring rate is determined by period when a load is applied different formula is needed for
using the formula below. See to a vehicle. See step 3. the type of suspension your
Step 2. race vehicle utilizes, A-arm or
Beam axle. See Step 1. Please
Step 1: Motion Ratio take into consideration the
ANGLE CORRECTION FACTOR
A-arm Suspension (See Diagram 1) (shown in step 1) in your
MR Motion Ration computation.

Tip 1: Calculation of Wheel Rate for a Given Frequency Tip 2: Calculation of Spring Rate Needed for a Given Wheel Rate
