the theory of a floating torque arm isn't really in alot of literature.

I've only seen it really mentioned in one book:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ima...283155&s=books

all that book does is describe the instant center position. Other books really describe how IC works in a drag race application

I'm curious about all this as well. It would be great to have something that tells you if your car does this you should adjust this and so on.

I was on my way to the mall with the wife tonite, figured I'd look for it while I was there.... if they don't have it, then amazon.com it will be.
