Stepping Out

Featured Replies

When the car steps out due to burnout at the drags or a firm push on the pedal at speed, the car always steps out to the right.

The question is why?

Is this the same for everyone?

Depends on the grip and weight in the car, plus on the road there is always a grade (but that would usually make it go left)

If the right hand side tyre loses grip first, that's where its gonna go - mine goes either way, but probably more to the left...

Anything to do with the LSD?

Mine usually goes left, then right, then left, then right & so on until I hit 4th :spoton:

Its all to do with the direction the engine spins the tailshaft, it tries to twist the diff giving more traction to one side and less to the other so it steers the car in the direction of the tyre with more grip, kind of like a diver with only 1 flipper lol. Drag racers put lots of time and effort into preventing this from happening to make the car run straight.

So what's the answer?

'Better' diff/lsd?

"Cos it's annoying at the drags when the car is sideways on the burnout :innocent:

pre loading the suspension the opposite way, not something you can do in a stock car

What I was going to say but better.

You also see a lot of the top AUS drag cars switch to LHD to counter the cars natural tendancy to turn right.
