A practical guide to chassis design and handling

Herb Adams’s guide connects suspension geometry and chassis design with the practical work of building and tuning a car. Its subject is handling: how chassis choices relate to cornering on both road and track. Photographs and illustrations support explanations intended to make technical principles easier to apply across different projects. Published in 1992, the book brings together foundational discussion of chassis engineering and hands-on guidance for automotive customization and performance driving.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Car enthusiasts planning a chassis or suspension project
  • Readers interested in vehicle handling and suspension geometry
  • Automotive hobbyists seeking illustrated guidance on building and tuning cars

Book overview

In most forms of racing, cornering speed is the key to winning. On the street, precise and predictable handling is the key to high performance driving. However, the art and science of engineering a chassis can be difficult to comprehend, let alone apply. Chassis Engineering explains the complex principles of suspension geometry and chassis design in terms the novice can easily understand and apply to any project. Hundreds of photos and illustrations illustrate what it takes to design, build, and tune the ultimate chassis for maximum cornering power on and off the track.
