Three Turning Ride Characteristics of Oversteering Vehicles

Before we get into specifics, let's talk about the cornering driving characteristics of vehicles. Turning characteristics can generally be divided into understeer, neutral steering and oversteer three cases.

1, understeer is manifested in the vehicle in the corner of the actual steering angle than the front wheels of the angle of rotation is small, that is, the front wheels appeared to the outside of the slide, this turn is also commonly known as the "push head".

2, oversteer is manifested in the actual steering angle of the vehicle in the curve than the front wheels of the rotation angle is greater, that is, the rear wheels appear to the outside of the slide.

3. Neutral steering means that the actual steering angle of the vehicle in a corner is exactly the same as the angle of rotation of the front wheels. This type of steering characteristic often allows for maximum cornering speeds, but it also reduces the subjective perception that the vehicle is approaching its physical limits to some degree.

For front-wheel-drive vehicles, understeer can be addressed by reducing speed when it occurs. But if there is more serious oversteer then you need to counter-steer and work with gas to pass, which is also a drifting technique, but it's very demanding on the motorist. Therefore, generally speaking, ordinary civilian cars in the steering characteristics of the tuning will be biased towards a slight understeer to ensure driving stability.
