Greetings, I m trying to measure the body paramters(inertias/pos of COG), suspension parameters (roll/stiff/yaw compliances,steering/wheel goemetry relationship)of our test vehicle (Suzuki Wagon R) . I know these could be easily measured on a K&C test rig. Unfortunately i have access only to a four poster test rig and some instrumention (Sensor/Data acq..) on which i am planning to do the measurement of some of it.. Could anyone would suggest success of this exercise ? Could you suggest a better way out? Thanks In Advance, -- Jose J

Jose, I just went through this for my 72 El Camino. I used a plumb bob to drop down the pivot point locations onto my garage floor, then measured the marks on the floor. It's not entirely accurate the way I did it, but if you took your time I think you could do a pretty good job for most of the measurements you'd need. Just a 'redneck' suggestion....
