Thxs for the explanation I was always curious about the difference between the two steers. I definitely suffer from oversteer. :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I recently put new rims on my 2011 1LT and noticed that on some corners I get a good amount of under steer. How do I correct this? Never had it occur with the previous set.

Practice makes perfect! I spend like an hour one day in this closed trucking parking lot, plenty of room to make the donuts, and just had some fun. I took her up to 50 or so and cut the wheel as fast and hard as I could with throttle. Result; she didn't even attempt to turn until I let off the throttle. Then after a few donuts I tried while in the turn to "flick" the steering and purposefully swing out the ass end, oversteer, and power slide thru the turn! Fun Fun Fun!!!!!...... Try and find a place where you can safely do some maneuvers and practice different responses. |

^^^they said it already...
Oversteer: The rear of your car slides out while turning...kinda like drifting. Understeer: You're turning your steering wheel and your car just takes forever to turn..making you miss your cornering attack and lose time. *I used to race for Marlboro (non-US) before so I know.

As far as car terminology goes, it's amazingly straight-forward. I think people over-think the concept frequently.

Every freakin time I think I have this straight in my mind I talk myself in circle and get confused, or maybe that's brain under steer, or over steer of the brain?
Eagle 1, What they had us doing was going in a circle on the skid pad as tight to the cones as possible and then accelerating slowly once tight. The car will go in a bigger and bigger circle as you accelerate and then we were told (via walkie) to lift off the gas and the car comes back in tight really fast with no additional steering input. As we got use to it we learn to modulate the tightness of the circle with just the gas pedal. Really cool stuff to learn and I'm a big advocate of investing in your own driving ability before modding because a good driver can kick my butt regardless of all my horsepower. Sorry if I'm confusing the question but the terminology just confuses me but when I'm behind the wheel it makes sense

Richard Petty put it best: "Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back end of the car; understeer is when you hit the wall with the front end of the car."

I live on a Cul-de-sac, big ol circle, and I love ripping a few rounds, three or four usually, before whipping it into my driveway. I've yet to oversteer, but understeer like crazy, depending on the temp. 1.2 on the G Meter is my best. Where the road intersects the circle is where I try to really put down the power because I've got a much wider piece of pavement in case I spin out.
Anyway, I watched somebody's video posted here with an instructor in the passenger seat. Just this one little comment the instructor kept making greatly improved my performance. "EYES UP". I noticed I tended to look/focus directly in front of the car instead of looking up ahead. Also I'm learning to keep my eyes where I Want the car to go and not where the car is going. If she starts to slide off track/course, don't look where she is heading, but focus on where you want her to go. It's pretty amazing but it's like I automatically respond accordingly. Whether I need to let off a little, brake a little, or accelerate a little, looking where I want the car to go is key! If you fixate on something, let's say you're sliding towards a tree or wall, and your eyes lock on that track, THATS WHERE YOURE GOING TO GO, instead you have to ALWAYS LOOK WHERE YOU WANT THE CAR TO GO!!!!!!...... Believe me its easier said than done. Panic can set in very quickly and you can freeze up instead of focusing on where you want to go. Big empty lot = Practice Practice Practice. |
