I have been wondering for a while where the front roll centre on the 4x4 would be located. For the 3dr and 2wd sapph there is some info available where it is when the car is on standard ride height. But for the 4x4 there is no info available. And apart from that I also wanted to know where it is right now, with the Ahmed Bayjoo springs fitted.


So I decided to do some measurements to be able to calculate where it should be. I put in all the measurements in Excel and according to the calculations the roll centre would be 15.6 mm above the ground.





I also re-did the calculation with the longer ball joint pins to see how much the roll centre would increase from that. I got a value of 50.3 mm, which I expect should be close to standard. But it is still lower than the 2wd Sapph, which had 70 mm from standard.
