| In simple terms, it is adjusting the car
so there’s an equal amount of weight on all four tires.
Imagine a car as a four legged chair. In order for the chair
to stand steadily, all four legs should be of equal length
and as a consequence applying equal pressure on the floor.
If one leg is longer, or shorter than the others, we have
a chair that rocks, and is unstable.
Corner balancing is the process of shifting the weight carried
by each wheel to approach optimal values. Although some
weight can be shifted between wheels by physically relocating
parts of the car, the corner balance process is focused
on shifting weight by adjusting the suspension spring height.
Any relocation of parts should be performed before corner
balancing begins.
