Abstract
The cornering compliance concept provides a convenient, easily-interpreted approach to the study of automobile stability and control. In analyzing the effect of front and rear roll steer, it is convenient to separate the cornering compliances at each axle into roll-related and non-roll-related parts. Adding roll understeer tends to quicken the transient response. Rear roll understeer tends to decrease the rate of decay of one of the modes of motion, and this could result in a nuisance mode.
