Reduce understeer
Most impact
- Anti-roll bar: lighter front / stiffer rear
- Tires: harder rear compound / softer front
- Roll center: lower front / higher rear
- Shock damping: heavier rear / lighter front
- Caster (F): more
- Diff fluid (4WD): heavier front and rear
- Transmission layout (2WD off-road): laydown or layback / 3-gear
- Droop (pan car): less rear
- Ackermann: more
- Center shock: flatter (pan car)
Medium impact
- Shock springs: lighter front / stiffer rear
- Shock angle: outward at rear tower / inward at front tower
- Droop (F): less
- Toe: less rear toe-in
- Rear axle: use solid axle instead of differential (on-road)
- Front axle: use one-way or differential instead of solid axle (on-road)
- Ride height: lower front / higher rear
- Wheelbase: shorter
Less impact
- Camber: less rear / more front
- Anti-squat: more
- Kick-up: more
