Have you ever turned your steering wheel sharply to avoid hitting something only to discover the vehicle didn’t turn as sharply as you’d hoped? If so, you experienced understeering. Oversteering is just the opposite of understeering. Both of these are terms used to describe how sensitive your vehicle is to steering. Our technicians at Roling Ford are very knowledgeable about automotive issues and would be happy to offer their advice.
Oversteering is more commonly found of vehicles with rear-wheel drive while understeering is more common with vehicles with front-wheel drive. Both of these situations can cause problems on the road, but the good news is that both of them can be fixed. Issues like tires and shocks can play a part in creating oversteering and understeering.
