Tweaked:

280g 330g
370g 305g



I'm surprised that some folks never check tweak. Obviously they are doing something within their maintenance process that clears up any tweak issues if the car never acts funny. Even if the chassis is square, a tweaked suspension will cause a car to pull to one side under acceleration and/or braking, as well as not handle symmetrically.

I'm fairly thorough as I check ride height, tweak, droop, camber and toe before EVERY RUN.

Back to topic...
I found this post very interesting,as I have had all four corners ok,but the car was tweaked when I throw it on my Hudy setup station,which I do in between runs.
So basically,I think a good rule is weight distribution is a great guide,but not actually right for checking tweak.
What do you think?
Cheers
