Hi Sagar, our article on “how to adjust and tune dampers” and “How to remove oversteer and understeer” will be useful to you. They show the effects of adjusting your dampers and you can induce understeer with your dampers by doing the reverse of what we recommend in order to remove understeer. With regards to spring rates you could stiffen your front springs. This will stiffen the front axle during cornering and will increase LLT for you across the front axle. However, it will not ride bumps as well or dip under braking as well as before.

Thanks

My vehicle is with struts in front and twist beam with coil over damper configuration. There is no scope of increasing rear ARB in rear.
Is there any chance to increase understeer by playing in damper damping forces, spring stiffness and compression/jounce bumper?
Thanks,

HI Sagar, Thanks for the comment. If your distribution is very severe then you would be best trying to move some ballast to the front of the vehicle to even out the masses a bit. If this is not the case then you could install a softer anti-roll bar on the front of the vehicle and a stiffer anti-roll bar on the rear. This will settle the front more during cornering and give the rear more LLT when changing direction to help keep the front end more stable.

I have a vehicle which is front wheel drive but rear weight is quiet more as compared to front.
When we do severe lane change, front response is very quick. We want to reduce this response.
Upto 80 kmph it feels comfortable but as you go beyond 120/130 kmph, it becomes too quick and its not controllable. What can we do to come out of this issue?
We can play with spring stiffnesses and damper damping forces.
Kindly guide if possible.
(This vehicle is Electric vehicle thats why it is front wheel drive with rear more weight)
