[quote]books be a good start?

Yes. In fact, ALL of Mr Smiths five books are valuable and quite readable for the backyard engineer. Bump-steer, Ackermann angle, toe-in settings with modern tires, and other geometry-related subjects are covered in 'Tune To Win', 'Engineer to Win' and his last one before passing on to the big track in the sky- 'Drive to Win'. I've owned mine since they were first published and re-read them constantly, always finding something new. Somewhat less readable but still good is one I recently picked up from one of your countrymen- Allan Staniforth's 'Competition Car Suspension' published by Hanes in GB.
