    Thanks for the clarification. I knew it was something to do with the feel of the steering.

    To further simplify ...

    NASCAR guys say that when a car understeers,
    it hits the wall with the nose first,
    and when it oversteers, it smacks the wall tail first. :clap:

    I remember when I would pump up the air shocks on my 70 Galaxy for more rake, the car would oversteer. It shifted more weight of the car to the front.
