The Birdcage Setup- How To Make Traction Magic With Yours!
Described in its simplest form, a birdcage is the working foundation of a 4-bar (4 link) chassis suspension system in that it stabilizes and regulates the movement of the rear part of the car. It also provides a platform to control the moving relationship between the chassis’ shifting weight and the car’s rear traction. Sounds easy enough right? but the first time you saw one you probably thought (I know I did) ‘hmmm… Looks complicated.’ And the more you learn about them, the more you realize that they really can be. Still, the things about your car that they control are crucial to your car’s performance and you will never outrun everyone else until it’s at least close to right. The more right your birdcage setup is, the better your chances.
