BI - 8.30 FRONT SUSPENSION. ACTUAL SPRING RATE AT WHEEL = SPRING RATE AT SPRING x (LEVERAGE SQUARED) BED. FIGURE IS 0.93 x (SPRING RATE AT SPRING / LEVERAGE SQUARED) TO TRACE THE SILENTBLOC RATING MUST BE ADDED MEASURED RATE AT WHEEL LBS/IN. OVERALL CALCULATED RATE AT WHEEL, LBS/IN. MEASURED RATING INCLUDES SILENTBLOCS MEASURED RATING AFTER SILENTBLOCS SUBTRACTED | ||
