Chassis/suspension books for your Christmas list

[Martin K]

Read this lot and you will find a lot of different opinions and even some confusion over the facts. But once you have learned how to differentiate between strongly held opinions and facts, a wealth of knowledge and practical help can be gleaned.

Happy reading!

Meriam's books I have from my time in college in the early seventies. Glad I didn't get rid of them!

Can you recommend one of the others as a good starting point, Martin?

Which of all these books will help me to set up the suspension and improve the handling and roadholding of my car...???
I do not necessaryly need to know why and how everything works...!!! Just what parts to change / adjust / replace / upgrade etc... Or am I asking too much / the impossible...???
Martin...???

Well, Can't speak for the others......but I've got Fred Puhns book 'How to Make Your Car Handle' and it's well worthwhile buying.
