Cars transfer weight diagonally

A car has a total weight, distributed on 4 wheels… by driving a car, you are contantly shifting this weight around those 4 points of contact. Under extreme driving situations, and/or depending how your suspension is designed, you may be able to have that weight transferred onto only 3 corners of the car for a brief moment.

This may be easy to do, or nearly impossible to do, mainly depending on the design/setup of your suspension. Cars with a stiff rear swaybar or a torsion beam suspension will usually lift a rear tire easily, due to there being very limited “droop” in the suspension. (the swaybar will always shift MORE weight to the outside wheel… bigger bar=more weight transferred). A car with no swaybars and fully independant suspension like Andy’s (marcs old) Civic will almost never lift a rear outside wheel, because the suspension will droop enough to compensate for the lack of weight. Obviously there will still be next to no weight on this wheel, but it wont necessarily lift in the air.

So I say, its both car and driver.

back to work…
