What are the effects of a heavy car rear end?

[MaryFitz]

If the rear end of a car is too heavy, the tail will swing outward during turns, affecting the car's steering. When taking high-speed turns, the car may experience oversteering, commonly known as fishtailing. For every 10% increase in car weight, the car will consume 6% more fuel. A car's fuel consumption is not only related to its performance and the driver's habits but also directly linked to the load in the trunk. Therefore, it is very important to regularly clean the trunk and develop a habit of organizing items systematically. The car's body structure and layout plan balance various design schemes and are finalized after testing, ensuring that within the effective payload range, the car's safety and performance are not affected. However, if heavy objects are stored in the trunk for a long time, the oil pressure in the rear wheel shock absorbers will remain high for an extended period, further impacting the lifespan and damping effect of the shock absorbers. Additionally, the floor panel of the trunk's chassis may slightly deform, which could also lead to deformation of the car's suspension, affecting its driving performance and safety.
