Yellow bird's weight and balance

[Arm7419]

Weighed my 33 last week and total weight came to 2598lbs. What is surprising is that weight distribution is
nearly a perfect 50/50 split with no driver and full tanks of fuel.

Hi Chuck,

Your car is about 200 pounds heavier than mine, I believe. Mine's a bit heavier at the rear than the front. Here's what mine looks like:

This is using the county's truck scales (freebie) which are only good to +or- 10Lbs, but it helped to get the corner weights pretty close. I don't think my tank was full, but maybe half.

I adjusted ride height first, then did corner weights. Then back to the house to put a half turn or so into the light corners - then back to the scales. A couple of trips and I had reduced the cross weight difference from above 40 lbs off (as shown) to less than 20 lbs.

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Chuck, I think your scales are a bit more accurate than the local county's truck scales! However, mine were the right price!!!
