Good morning,
I am building the 427 chassis from the Cobra Restorers blueprints.
anti-squat is a good thing to keep the rear wheels on the ground under acceleration and bumps.

here is the million-dollar question for the 427 chassis:

why did FORD design antisquat with an angle of 3.5 deg into the suspension (rear upper pedestal), but used a lower rear control arm bracket with 12.35 deg, which will cause the rubber bush to twist in the chassis more than needed?
(picture taken from a Kirkham in Germany)

why not angle the lwr crtl arm bracket 3.5 deg as well?

who knows how many per cent anti-squat that is? 20%?
who found the center of gravity of the 427?

and why can others live without anti-squat?
how much anti squat is designed in other Cobras, like ERA, BDR, JBL or Superformance?
