Chicagoland MG Club: How To Make Your Car Handle
How To Make Your Car Handle

Donated by Barney Gaylord

Does not cover newer cars, but the information is spot on for vintage MGs with front A-arms and live rear axle. It is not MG specific, but the way the information is presented is general in nature and applies to most cars of this era. It starts by explaining how things work (suspension, steering, tires), including theories and formulas for calculating things like roll center and weight transfer. Then it progresses to explain how to tweak things to your advantage. Best not to skip any chapters, because you need to understand the theory before you start tinkering. About half the price of other similar newer books, but very good educational value as a primer on the workings of your car's suspension. Recommended reading for the vintage car driving enthusiast.
