I found out the fact that the minimum ground clearance is affected by
the backlash of the bolt holes in the trailing arm constructive
connection in VW 1302 Super Beetle. Actual measurement on the portion
revealed that 1 cm difference between right and left height. As a matter
of fact, this kind of critical geometric deviation in axle construction
might cause any discrepancies, there is no room to suspect. Torsion bar
spring axle design makes it difficult to keep the parallelism between
torsion bar arm & trailing arm connective potion when build up and
fixed tightly. The supporting position of axle arm is very important to
do that accurately, the end of the torsion bar arm should be done, not
trailing arm itself. Relatively a big wood hummer with mass plays an
active role in the precise adjustment situation keeping the parallelism
and antero-posterior position. Just a steady efforts are my way as
usual. 30 minutes muscle action while lunch time has improved drive feel
considerably.
As various problems in Super Beetle has been solved
and reduced gradually, the free play on the steering gear link
construction with worm gear and drag link module make me feel worse
leading to some instability of driving because the relieved centricity
of steering is spoiled by the hysteresis phenomena caused by the
backlash there. Backing rudder action is required and it's timing is
delayed all the time, bad steering manner invites driving fatigue for
me. The opinion mentioned here is very strict area of centric position,
so ordinary driver would not perceive this phenomena. Anyway, the
counter measure for this problem must be considered for the next
attempt. I'm sure that much more steering stability while straight
running would be obtained if the backlashes would be eliminated in a
way, screwing in the clearance adjuster on the gear box and inserting
some engineering plastic thin film on the moving surfaces gap in the
drag-link construction?
Steady efforts would generate substantial driving joy without any arguments.
