How to Adjust Understeer in a Car?
1 Answers
When a car experiences understeer, simply release the throttle and gently tap the brakes to bring the vehicle back on the correct track. If the steering angle is too large, slightly turning the steering wheel back can eliminate the understeer phenomenon. Understeer manifests as the actual steering angle of the vehicle in a turn being smaller than the turning angle of the front wheels, meaning the front wheels are sliding outward. Factors affecting understeer: 1. Tire grip and road conditions; 2. The angle and speed of entering the turn, as these two factors determine the magnitude of centripetal force, while the entry speed and engine also determine the magnitude of driving force; 3. Vehicle drivetrain configuration; 4. Suspension geometry; 5. Electronic stability control system.
