Mastering your ride: Calculating Longitudinal Load Transfer for Precision Driving - Vehicle Dynamics 

Hey Has, thanks a lot mate, I hope you are doing well

Thanks mate, I'm happy you enjoyed it

Thanks for clarifing mate, I was trying to keep it simple in this video and just introduce basic maths, but I appreicate your comment

Hi, this is a front wheel drive car, so the CoG distance to the front axle is a lot shorter than to the rear axle and the car is breaking, so there is also a load transfer to the front axle. Thanks for your question, let me know if you have any more

Hi there! Lift-off oversteer occurs when the balance of weight shifts from the rear wheels to the front wheels as the car decelerates. This shift in weight distribution reduces the amount of traction available to the rear tires while increasing it for the front tires. The demand for traction exceeds what the rear tires can provide, causing the rear of the car to lose grip and potentially slide outwards.

@@thefastandthenerdy when a car with a 4:6 weight distribution and a 6:4 car brake together, the force moves forward and the front grip improves, so both 4:6 and 6:4 cars can oversteer. Is a 4:6 car more likely to oversteer? I am a student studying automobiles, thank you

@@thefastandthenerdy If you brake a car with a weight distribution of 600kg and 400kg and the load moves forward by more than 100kg, can the actual tire grip be the same as that of a car with a 5:5 weight distribution at rest?

That's correct, both can oversteer when applying the breakes, but assuming all else is equal, the 6:4 will oversteer first as it will now have less load on the rear. When we are thinking about these things we should really look at the load on the tyres and the conditions of the road. Load transfer is more important than just the weight transfer as it takes into account all downward forces. Remember that the friction force is the load multiplied by the coefficient of friction Friction force = mu x Z

It could be, it would depend on the coeffiecnt of friction and where you are measuring the grip, front or rear
