🏎️ Oversteer / loose — too much steering, spins out
The rear steps out and the car is twitchy or spins when you turn.
If the car pulls one way, behaves differently turning left than right, or this started right after a crash, the cause is probably mechanical rather than setup — and no change below will fix it.
Run the 12-minute mechanical check first →Try these in order
Make one change at a time and re-test — that's how you learn what your car likes.
-
1
Thinner rear shock oil / softer rear springs
More rear suspension reaction = more rear traction.
-
2
More rear toe-in
Adds straight-line and corner stability at the rear.
-
3
Add or stiffen a front sway bar
Reduces front bite so the car is less aggressive turning in.
-
4
Thicker front shock oil
Slows the front reaction for calmer, more progressive steering.
-
5
Softer rear tire / more aggressive rear compound
Direct rear mechanical grip.
-
6
Move weight forward
Loads the front and settles the rear.
