What Does Front Track Mean?

[SanRemington]

Front track refers to the distance between the center planes of the two front tires. Track, in general, is the distance between the center lines of the tracks left by the vehicle on the supporting surface, usually the ground. If the axle has dual tires on both ends, the track is the distance between the center planes of the dual wheels. Below are some relevant details: 1. Importance of track: Generally speaking, the wider the track, the higher the driving comfort. However, some domestic cars without power steering may have a very "heavy" steering wheel if the front track is too wide, affecting driving comfort. Additionally, track also influences the overall width, total weight, lateral stability, and safety of the vehicle. 2. Difference between front and rear track: The main difference is that when a car takes a high-speed turn, the outer front wheel bears the most force. A wider front track results in a smaller moment of roll during the turn, which is why the front track is generally wider than the rear track. If the rear track is wider than the front track, the benefit is increased stability during high-speed straight-line driving.
