1. Yes, the hard components such as the frame, sway-bar, suspension links etc which deflect under load contribute to the compliance of the system. 2. Understeer effect 3. Since the lateral force always acts on the ground level i.e, below all the rigid suspension components, where there is a very soft component, tyre,…

1. Negative caster aids the steering and largely reduces steering effort. This makes the wheel unstable. 2. It not only increases the steering effort but, also increases the mechanical trail. High mechanical trail results in the low loss of steering feedback which does not help the driver in recognizing the loss…

No. by completely preventing the dive the rear spring expansion can be largely minimized. However, even slightest of longitudinal jacking tendency (which is inevitable because of load transfer) will cause the expansion of rear spring. 100%. the rear suspension characteristics are independent of the front wheel drive. 5.07…
