Front Brake Problem

The front L/R bias issue appears to be a problem with some but not all Harrisons. Sambo's solution attacks the front/rear bias problem which seems to be more common. This may well overcome your (our) front bias problem but could just be a disguise. Paul, if you read this, did you have front L/R bias issues as well as not enough rears?

I also have some slight front L/R bias issues under extreme breaking and have done most of the above tests with little difference. I have had some success with adjusting corner weights by winding up/down the shocks on the appropriate diagonals. Next for me will be to do a complete corner weight test.

Merv had a similar issue and the AP brakes he fitted to the front sorted it out.

However, I would be very interested if someone came up with a solution as to WHY these front L/R bias issues are occurring. The only thought I have (and feel free to shoot me down in flames) is that since the rears do little work, very slight differences in chassis and weight distribution affect the balance on the fronts very dramatically and, depending on the build, different cars are affected differently. This is the reason that I would like to corner weigh the car and go from there.
