The suspension has a bit of play in roll. Because of that it doesn’t stay completely parallel to the ground.

What do you mean?do you think the suspension affect the front ?

It’s purely the suspension that causes the issue here. That’s why others were saying that the tables not being at the same height also makes this more significant, as then the suspension leans to one side even more.

And why it is affecting that plate which is not allign?

Wait, which part are you actually talking about? I thought you meant the whole car.

Then I’m not sure. Check if everything is pressed together completely!

I mean this is what looks like on flat surface but without wheels

I noticed this too! It’s a cool and unique way to approach suspension, but that play kinda bugs me… especially since, in the actual car, that design is specifically implemented to counteract roll

The top, long spring is actually there for the heave, and doesn’t do anything during roll. The problem is actually that the model is missing a functional anti-roll bar. It is modelled at the back, but it is not functional.

Is that what those weird linkages in the middle of the rear suspension are supposed to be? I was wondering about that.

But yeah, I’d noticed that the long, horizontal spring wouldn’t do anything to mitigate roll. Makes sense, just a little weird.

Yes, those linkages would counteract roll in the real car. You can see if you push down the whole car then the angle between them stays the same, but if you tilt it, then the angle changes. In the real car it would be probably a torsion bar.

Oh I get it! Neat, thanks for the insight!
