Sets the position of the pushrod rod end in the bellcrank tab.
A machined sleeve between two faces. On this car spacers are used in every spherical bearing in a tab, because without one the load transfers through the bearing edge instead of through the full bearing face.
No part-specific design process is documented. The Bellcranks subsystem design process applies: 1. Take the wheel rate target from kinematics; the bellcrank is named by it (CR26I front is the 150 lb/in wheel rate crank, rear the 200 lb/in). 2. Set the architecture: connection points, pivot location, double or single shear. 3. Size the pivot for shear from the vector sum of rod and damper loads. 4. Run single-plate FEA for deflection first, then stress. CR26I rear single plate at 0.19 in gave FoS 3.54. 5. Calculate the wheel rate change that the measured deflection produces, and confirm it is inside tolerance. 6. Fit and validate the damper position sensor.
