The total weight of the car is dispersed between the corners. The weight is measured from the bottom of the tyre because that is what is touching the ground. the aim is to get the wiehgt accros the car the same. ie. the front left the same as the front right. and the same goes for the rear, although obviously it will be a higher value at the rear if its a rear engined single seater.
When a driver gets better it is posible to bias the weights so that as he/she brakes into a corner the front right (if its a right hand corner he/she is braking into) will remain a little heavier and avoid locking the wheel.
the way most people do it with a push rod car is to pretty much leave the front pushrods alone (assuming the chassis is level) and just to lengthen the rears or shorten them to adjust the corner weights.
so
say the front left is too heavy and the chassis is level or as level as your going to get it, you want to shorten the right rear to take weight away from the front left. Its an idea not to do all the adjustment on one corner at the back, try and do it in equal measures on both sides so as to minimise the adjustment on each corner.
hope this makes sence
