Oversteer / loose — too much steering, spins out
The rear steps out and the car is twitchy or spins when you turn.
💡 The idea: Add rear grip, or calm the front down.
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.
