Reduce understeer

Most impact
Medium impact
  • Shock angle: outward at front tower / inward at rear tower
  • Droop (R): more
  • Rear axle: use differential instead of solid axle (on-road)
  • Front axle: use one-way or differential instead of solid axle (on-road)
  • Caster (F): less
  • Weight distribution: bias to rear
  • Ride height: lower front / higher rear
  • Toe: more front toe-out, less rear toe-in
  • Wheelbase: shorter
Less impact

Reduce oversteer

Most impact
  • Anti-roll bar: stiffer front / lighter rear
  • Tires: harder front compound / softer rear
  • Roll center: higher front / lower rear
  • Shock springs: stiffer front / lighter rear
  • Shock damping: heavier front / lighter rear
  • Diff fluid (4WD): heavier front and rear
Medium impact
  • Shock angle: inward at front tower / outward at rear tower
  • Droop (R): less
  • Rear axle: use solid axle instead of differential (on-road)
  • Front axle: use solid axle instead of one-way or differential (on-road)
  • Caster (F): less
  • Weight distribution: bias towards front
  • Ride height: higher front / lower rear
  • Toe: less front toe-out, more rear toe-in
  • Wheelbase: longer
Less impact
  • Camber: less front / more rear
  • Anti-squat: less
  • Kick-up: more

Reduce traction roll

Most impact
  • Anti-roll bar: stiffer in front / lighter in rear
  • Tires: harder compound
  • Ride height: lower
  • Caster (F): less
  • Roll center: higher in front / lower in rear
  • Rear axle: Use solid axle instead of differential (on-road)
Medium impact
  • Droop (R): more
  • Shock springs: stiffer in front / lighter in rear
  • Shock damping: heaver in front / lighter in rear
  • Front axle: use solid axle instead of one-way or differential (on-road)
  • Track width (F): wider
