Does Drifting in a Regular Sedan Damage the Car?
1 Answers
Drifting in a regular sedan does damage the car. Damage to the Suspension System: The control arms and upper arms in the suspension system are quite fragile. During drifting, the car's weight shifts heavily to the front wheels in the direction of travel, which can over time cause the ball joints of the control arms or upper arms to crack or even detach. Accelerated Tire Wear: During drifting, the tires experience uneven wear against the ground, which speeds up their deterioration. Damage to the Braking System: Since drifting requires rear-wheel braking to execute the maneuver, the uneven distribution of the car's weight during drifting can lead to uneven wear on the brake pads and uneven pressure from the calipers, resulting in damage to the braking system.
