Registered: July 2002	Re: how to eliminate lift-off oversteer in an ma61 Fri, 29 August 2003 17:34 Hello, If i can throw in my two cents worth here's some advice, There are two basic causes of lift-off oversteer; 1. Poor technique - Slow in/Fast out is the quickest way to get through a corner although it feels a little slow at first. You should be off the brakes and in the correct gear before turn-in. People who are overdriving a vehicle tend to come in too hot and roll around the apex which often results in oversteer. Assuming your technique is ok....... 2. Front suspension too soft- In a left hand corner for example you will be tucking in the right front wheel thereby raising the left rear. Obviously your rear traction becomes limited due to only one tyre having proper road contact resulting in slide. To cure this you would need to have a look at front shock absorber condition and spring stiffness. Front swaybar changes should be considered after checking shocks/springs. On a race-car attempts are often made to increase front track width over rear track width using wheel spacers at front and introducing front negative camber. This would also help a lot as the contact patches of tyres are no longer square which prohibits the front wheel from tucking. There are other benefits from increased front track and negative camber also. This advice comes from several years of circuit racing and the last three years teaching young people how to drive race-cars as part of a high-school racing program.I'm not saying it is the only answer but perhaps something you should consider. Good luck and don't prang before you sort it out !!!!!!! [Report message to a moderator]
