I'd use the search function, above, on the toolbar.

x2 There's more info on the PBB than you could ever find in a book.

You're on it.

Although, up to recently we (PBB) hasn't dealt with mud trucks, so you may not find as much as you like (concerning mud trucks)

I talked to Jason Payne (Willyswanter) a few years ago about some books. He told me as far as 4 link design, Engineering to Win and Chassis Engineering by Herb Adams are good books. Theres a big book I have by Milliken and Milliken that costs over $100 but it invaluable if you really want to design a kickass suspension of any type as well as swaybars, etc.

Race Car Vehicle Dynamics? That's a pretty good one.

That's what Jason said he had. If it would help me fab some stuff half as well as he did, I would read it.

Edit*. Sorry, I can see the confusion. I just cut and pasted that portion of our PMs. Didnt even proof-read it. I should have put quotation marks infront of "As far as 4link design goes..." all the way to "...swaybars, etc".

Wait, Johnny. Is that a "thats a pretty good one", as in "that's a good joke" or "that is an informative reading unit"?

I'll make it easy for you, but seriously, use the search function before someone, ahem, less forgiving "helps" you out
