This is the same thing im wondering about to ,but there is one way i know to help fix oversteer. First you increase front tire presure, then second you decrease the rear tire presure then thet should help, do the opposite for oversteer if you want to start drifting.

Yes, applying a slight acceleration can help in an oversteer situation by transferring weight to the rear tires, increasing traction, and helping to straighten out the vehicle's direction. However, it is important to do so smoothly and gradually to avoid exacerbating the oversteer.

One can learn more about oversteer and understeer from a driver's training instructor. Experience is also a great teacher, but maybe a dangerous one.

Not enough weight in the back.

John Nikas goes by Johnny Oversteer.

Depends how it's driven - a front wheel drive car can be prone to "lift-off" oversteer, which happens when you come off the gas mid way through a corner. An all wheel drive car will normally tend to oversteer if you use too much gas through the corner. It all depends on the car though!

Oversteer is a driving term used to describe the effect of the rear tyres of the car losing traction while turning a corner. This results in the back of the car sliding towards the outside of the corner and can result in a spin if not corrected by 'counter steering'.

Oversteer is when a car turns into a corner and the back of the car breaks loose, not following the same line as the front wheels.

Understeer is when attempting to corner, the front wheels are turned in the direction you want to go, but the car travels forwards. (front wheel drive cars suffer this) Oversteer is when cornering the back end steps out and unless corrected quickly will cause the car to spin. (a trait of rear wheel drive cars)

generally oversteer as the tyre 'rolls' on the rim

MGM's usually understeer, if thrown into a corner too fast. Is your question why yours oversteers instead of under ??? Are front tires the correct size ??

The Electronic Stability Program, or ESP, is a car safety device that uses high-tech sensors, the carâ??s central computer, and mechanical actions. The ESP detects a loss of steering control. It can help correct an understeer or oversteer of a car. An understeer can occur if the carâ??s front wheels donâ??t have enough traction. An oversteer can occur if the car turns too far causing the rear wheels to slip. Some ESP systems can reduce engine power until control is regained.

Oversteer happens when the rear tires lose traction and the back of the vehicle slides out in a turn. This can occur due to factors such as excessive speed, abrupt steering inputs, or weight transfer towards the rear of the car. Oversteer can be dangerous if not corrected properly by steering into the skid and easing off the throttle.

The "ESP" system helps correct oversteer and understeer by breaking the inner or outer wheel as needed to get the car back on a straight path. When the light flashes the "ESP" system has detected this condition and has momentarily engaged.

Yes, slight acceleration can help to shift the weight of the vehicle to the rear wheels, which can improve traction and help to regain control in an oversteering situation. However, it is important to be cautious and not accelerate too aggressively, as this can exacerbate the oversteer.

Understeer is when you turn the steering wheel and through lack of grip, (caused by road conditions or possibly excess speed) the car does not follow i.e it goes straight on.

in a spin or a slide in vehicle you should turn into the slide

so if car is sliding to the left,steer to the left

oversteer and you will slide or spin the other way causing what is called fish tailing

might also take your foot off the gas,BUT do not hit the brakes

When you accelerate and steer at the same time, you are applying both translational and rotational forces to the vehicle. This can cause the car to understeer or oversteer, affecting its handling and stability. It is important to balance acceleration and steering inputs to maintain control of the vehicle.

The weight over the rear transaxle and wide trackwidth (and wide tires) makes breaking loose a Porsche 911 Turbo difficult, but snap oversteer can be deadly in the event that the rear end does break loose while lifting the throttle during lateral weight transition (e.g. in a corner). Traction control in modern Turbo 911s (993, 996 and 997) have made snap oversteer a minor concern, but in a 930 or 964 Turbo, drifting should not be attempted by anyone less than a trained professional on a closed circuit. Can you drift a Porsche Turbo? Technically, by definition, maybe.. It would result more in a controlled (very delicately controlled, mind you) 4-wheel slide. That said, I do not recommend it. There are much more suitable candidate cars for the sport.

You can't. You could always go to a garage and they will always tell you they are bad..

Worn tread is obvious. Overheating or sliding around or under or oversteer are tire pressure problems. Sure there are things like thrown tread (separation from the body) but this is because you bought junk. Apart from that, there is little to this subject.

Depends on the type of race. The RX-7 has significantly better oversteer so it will be better on a down hill, but the AWD on the STi will be better for uphills. On a strait, they're fairly equal with the right driver. The STi will of course be better on dirt while the RX-7 Will be a better drifter.

cobra is nice has lots of power but will take time to have it kicking in. Its big heavy and depends on year 95+ they have problems with transmissions suspencion for steering is bad. My guess 350z they are more rare, great chasis, little oversteer but suspension is great. Its all preferance but i drove bolth and if i had to pick i would go with 350z.

You should always install 2 new tires on the rear of the vehicle, regardless of where the drive wheels are. The reason for this is that it is much easier to control understeer (the front wheels sliding out) than oversteer (the rear wheels sliding out). This is why if you are unable to replace all 4 tires at the same time, you always want your newer tires on the rear.

The "ESP" system helps correct oversteer and understeer by breaking the inner or outer wheel as needed to get the car back on a straight path. By pushing the ESP button you are turning it off and will see an illuminated yellow triangle on the instrument cluster. Turning the system off will allow the rear of your car to drift around turns and/or break traction on heavy accelleration.

Centrifugal force acts on a vehicle during cornering by pushing it outward from the center of the turn. This force causes dynamic changes in the vehicle's movement by creating a tendency for the vehicle to continue moving in a straight line rather than following the curve of the turn. This can lead to oversteer or understeer, affecting the vehicle's stability and handling.

There should be more braking power to the front wheels for two reasons. As the brake is applied there is a change in the balance of weight distribution on all four tires caused by the vehicle pitching down on the front. This places more weight on the front tires. If there was more braking taking place on the rear tires than on the front, there would become an oversteer condition and the back of the vehicle would skid out.

Weight distribution can affect speed by influencing the balance and stability of a vehicle or object. Proper weight distribution can improve handling and traction, leading to better acceleration and overall performance. Uneven weight distribution can cause issues such as understeer or oversteer, which can impact speed and control.

Chevys around that year model have a lot of trouble with the front bearings. jack it up and spin the tires by hand. If one or the other doesn't spin freely, you have a bad bearing. Also, if it's a 4x4, engaging the front differential and making a turn will cause the outside tire to slip and bounce. That's normal on a 4x4.

The car's handling will be affected, though the amount MAY be negligible. This difference will increase the height of the rear end by about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch, and may increase oversteer due to the increased area of the sidewall. I would suggest fitting either the proper sizing per manufacturer or use a proper plus-zero size on all four wheels.

The factory recommended tire pressure is printed on a plate mounted on the drivers side door frame. It should also be in your owners manual. Depending on your driving style you 'might' want to consider modifying the pressure just slightly to suit your needs. An extra pound or two on the rear will tend to reduce the (abundant) oversteer in your car but don't get carried away and always adjust tire pressure with the tires cold (not run more than a few minutes at speeds over 35).

The relationship between weight distribution and physics in a moving vehicle is that weight distribution affects the vehicle's stability, handling, and overall performance. Proper weight distribution helps maintain balance and control, while improper distribution can lead to issues like understeer or oversteer, affecting the vehicle's ability to turn and maneuver safely. Physics principles such as inertia, friction, and centripetal force also play a role in how weight distribution impacts a vehicle's movement and dynamics.

First of im not sure how detailed you want this answer to be but ill give you a breif overview :

FWD- basically the engine sends power to the front two wheels.

This results is UNDERSTEER meaning when you try to turn left and you take the corner too fast, you will end up turning wide. Feels like ure not turning at all, feels like ure going striaght even though the wheels are turned left. Why? because the front wheels lose friction/grip and so the the tire cannot grip the road and turn the front of the car left. So the back of the car goes straight since it has grip which pushes the front of the car which has no grip forward instead of into the left corner.

FWD cars are safer due to understeer because if u turn left and the car doesnt turn, all u have to do is slow down brake and the front wheel will start to regain grip and start to turn again. Which is why for example the toyoto corolla is FWD and understeers.

Also FWD are cheaper and more spacious cause you mount the engine on the front wheel compared to a RWD where u have engine front and have components running to the back two wheels, meaning more maintenance and harder to build.

RWD- The engine sends power to the rear two wheels pushing the car.

Hence the car OVERSTEERS, meaning when u turn left and go into the corner too fast the car will turn too much. This causes the car to spin, because ure rear wheels lose grip but the front wheels are turned the the left which have grip causing the back of the car which lost grip to move forward while the front of the car go left because its turning and has grip. This will lead to a spin towards the left and spin outta control where the back of the car comes out.

RWD is more dangerous and also alot of fun because if u oversteer meaning u turn left and the back of the car comes out and the car starts to spin an average driver will not be able to regain control. BUT if your an experienced driver when you turn left and the car starts to spin you can counter steer (as the back comes out instead of turning left start turning right) and drift around the corner so to speak which is why experienced drivers prefer RWD because its alot of fun! Which is why a corvette is RWD because u can drift and power slide, but if u are inexperienced u can also get yourself in a serous accident.

For racing RWD is used cause you can have 50/50 weight dsitribution balancing the car instead of having the car front heavy as in a FWD. In a sports car u want a balanced car so that all the wheels have equal weight on them and a RWD drive can acheive that better than a fwd car.

4WD/AWD-The engine can send power to all four wheels. So if you have a skyline GTR R33 for instance which has AWD, primarily power is sent to the rear wheels, but if the car starts to over steer the ATTESA-ETS will send power to the front wheels to counter the oversteer and induce understeer, which is why the Skyline GTR series is so famous. Making AWD cars to have wat people say neutral steering.

(Remind you, understeer, oversteer and neutral also depend on suspension design, weight distribution etc. So we cannot say all FWD cars must understeer or all RWD car must oversteer. In fact, car makers usually design the suspension geometry to compensate for oversteer or understeer generated by FWD / RWD and weight distribution. But in general FWD cars understeer and RWD cars oversteer)

2004 models (called Ap2) should be the preferrable model. It has a glass rear window, improved suspension geometry, 17" wheels for better looks and matched to the suspension and some minor cabin enhancements such as an added digital clock. Having that said The 1999 or 2000 model (called Ap1) is a better bang for the buck and is almost as good a car. But the suspension on it is somewhat harder to drive 'well' say on a track day. If not carefully driver the car will snap oversteer easier than the 2004 model.

Intresting enough its the flash which has high marks in evrey aspect of itself almost a sorts car but only a tuner. The elergy has a burnout and any oversteer problem, the uranus is the most balanced car in evrey tuner trait putting in a central position even with mods, the jester is the lowest class tuner becuse its balanced like the uranus but at the lowest scale its only good for show, the stratrum has little renforcement and will stall at a high speed crash, and the sultan is the least renforced and has been known to stall in LOW speed crashes.

Depends a bit on conditions and whether you are driving a front or rear-wheel drive vehicle. Generally speaking, you should steer into the skid, and lift off throttle (in rear-wheel drive). In front-wheel drive, do not lift off throttle completely, but keep power on to pull you out of the skid. Obviously, as the car comes out of the skid, straighten the steering.

On ice, it is possible at low speed to control the skid by balancing the understeer generated by the front wheels by creating oversteer pulling on the handbrake. This can ONLY be done on front-wheel drive cars, AND AT LOW SPEED!.

It adjusts how much power assist is given. In one direction less boost is given than in the other. To me it works much better in the 'less assist' position. In the 'more assist' position is too much assistance, you lose the feel of the road and can oversteer very easily. But if one was weak or disabled the extra help could be useful. Note this is controlled by the same processor that handles air bag suspension. If a fuse for air bag suspension had blown or been pulled, you will be on full assist all the time regardless of how the switch is set.

First off, do not panic which is why most people oversteer and wreck when this happens. When this happens you lift your foot off the accelerator, firmly grasp the steering wheel with both hands, and slowly steer back on the road. Do not steer sharply, jerk the steering wheel, or slam on the brakes. If you do you will more than likely have an accident which can be fatal. It is just a matter of slowly moving back to the left and on the road. This is something you really need to practice a few times so that if it happens you will know how to handle this situation. Practice this at a very low speed until you get comfortable doing it, then you can speed up some. If you do not panic you will be fine and nothing bad will happen.

Or, if you remove the inside of the glove box (easy to do) you can see a computer control module mounted behind it.

One of the wires from it controls the 'air suspension warning' light...cut it, and the trouble goes away. Unfortunately it was a number of years ago I did this and do not remember WHICH wire. :{ I suggest google searches for rear suspension replacement kits, and seeing if any of the suppliers can tell you, or have a PDF showing the process...

Do NOT locate and remove the fuse that used to control the air suspension, as the same module controls the variable power steering feedback...if the module is completely unpowered, you will have maximum power steering boost all the time, resulting in little road feedback and a tendency to oversteer since it takes so little effort.

ESP (Electronic Stability Program)

This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP corrects for over/under steering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the over/under steer condition. Engine power may also be reduced to help the vehicle maintain the desired path.

ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle path intended by the driver and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the intended path, ESP applies the brake of the appropriate

wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or understeer condition.

The ESP Indicator Light, starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes active.

no... set by driver preferences. usual differences will be front/rear wing set up which controls aerodynamic downforce at front/back of car respectively (ie how hard the air pushes the car down, but also increases resistance reducing top speed/acceleration).

Main difference I can think of is on some tracks Jenson Button (McLaren) is using Brembo brakes, while Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) is using Carbon Industries brakes. Other differences in set up will include:

> Brake balance - how much stopping power the brake pedal will apply to front/rear wheels - can cause oversteer/understeer in corners depending on drivers personal preference

> suspension set up (eg ride height, how firm the suspension is), can be configured to induce oversteer/understeer again depending on drivers style.

> fuel - one driver might carry a lighter fuel load which means they cannot run at 100% power for the whole race (or they will run out of fuel) but because they are lighter they can go faster and will have less tire wear - the driver might be gambling on a safety car allowing them to complete part of the race at lower power, or a poor qualifying (eg Webber in Shanghai, Rosberg in Suzuka 2011) starting at the back of the grid where traffic will limit capacity to run at full power

> tire strategy - drivers qualifying outside of the top 10 (or not setting a time in final qualifying) may chose different starting tire (option vs prime) and may also chose different strategies throughout the race.

It adjusts how sensitive the steering on the car is, but adjusting how much 'boost' the power steering gives you. I find my 95 lincoln town car gives too much power steering boost in all but the lowest setting. When it's set higher I get very little feedback from the road, and could easily oversteer when going around corners. It is however a good concept. I have an elderly aunt who could have used the extra boost had she been driving this car. Personally I would rather be able to dial it down even lower so more effort would be needed to steer the car, but I realize it's a choice that others may like.

Friction on the road affects a moving vehicle by providing the necessary force for the tires to grip the road surface. This friction allows the vehicle to accelerate, decelerate, and turn effectively. Insufficient friction can lead to loss of control and accidents, while excessive friction can cause increased wear on tires and decreased fuel efficiency.
