Retro-gone. Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 heard it mentioned a million times but not sure what the term 'understeer' means, ive probably had it many times on cars but not realised whats it is. so, what exacltly are the symptoms?
Trevmk3 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 if it starts to happen in the capper then just feed more power in
BIGKEV Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 Its when you turn in to a corner and the car doesnt basically
Trevmk3 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 yeah if you turn into a corner and your front wheels feel like they arent turning the car round it and you carry on going straight, more likely to happen in FWD as you have got the power going through the wheels whilst turning them
2.8i Cossie Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 understeer is when the front wheels loose traction going into a corner and the front of the car starts to drift out towards the outside of the bend Oversteer is when the rear of a car tends to loose traction and start to drift out on a corner
D4N Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 You see it so many times on rallys when they are on the brakes with full lock right and its still going forward. If the stupid bast*rds came off the brakes it would go round the corner
