Front suspension geometry

[tommi_nylund]

Hello all!

Does anyone here have a clue what I´m talking if I say things like 'axle-pin rake' or 'nachlauf'?

What I need to know is how much of that it is good to have with mcperson-suspensioned front in Beetle? In other words: How much my wheel stub centerline must be offset (to front) from straight line drawn between lower ball-joint and mcperson upper-bearing?

How much positive caster is good for non-powersteered light front-end car like Beetle is?

Thanks!
