Decrease FWD Understeer

Ever took your FWD car out on the track and wanted to be able to go around corners faster without understeering? Here are a few ways to minimize understeer.

Anti-roll bar

Anti-roll bars are a part of your cars suspension, their job is to reduce body roll of the car while cornering. By fitting stiffer anti-roll bars to the rear of your FWD car, you will be able to go through corners much faster before your front tires start loosing grip.

Tires

Tires are your only contact with the road. By adjusting the front tire pressure you can reduce understeer, try decreasing or increasing the front tire pressure.

You can also fit wider tires in front and narrower tires in back to decrease understeer.

Ride Height

By increasing rear ride height and/or decreasing front ride height you can decrease understeer.

Driving Techniques

If you find your car understeering, you can let off the trottle mid corner to let the car slow down, this will cause the car to oversteer instead, because the front tires gain traction while the rear looses some traction, so be prepared to counter-steer to keep your car from spinning out.
