Understeer / push — won't turn in
The front washes wide and the car won't rotate into the corner.
💡 The idea: Add front grip, or take a little grip away from the rear.
Try these in order
Make one change at a time and re-test — that's how you learn what your car likes.
-
1
Thinner front shock oil
A softer-reacting front loads the front tires faster for more bite on entry.
-
2
Softer front springs
Lets the front end squat and work the tires through the corner.
-
3
A touch more front toe-out
Sharpens initial turn-in (too much makes it darty, so go small).
-
4
Stiffer rear (thicker oil / stiffer springs / add rear sway bar)
Reducing rear grip lets the back rotate and kills the push.
-
5
Less rear toe-in
Frees the rear so the car steers more.
-
6
Move weight rearward (battery back)
Unloads the front slightly and helps rotation.
