  2. Weight distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_distribution

    Typically, it is written in the form x/y, where x is the percentage of weight in the front, and y is the percentage in the back. In a vehicle which relies on gravity in some way, weight distribution directly affects a variety of vehicle characteristics, including handling , acceleration , traction , and component life.

  3. Tow hitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tow_hitch

    A weight-distributing hitch is a "load leveling" hitch. It is a hitch setup mounted on the tow vehicle that uses spring bars and chains under tension to distribute part of the trailer's hitch weight from the towing vehicle's rear axle to the towing vehicle's front axle and to the trailer's axle(s). It can help reduce trailer sway and hop.

  4. Tire balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_balance

    If the tire is not checked, it has the potential to cause vibration in the suspension of the vehicle on which it is mounted. In tire retail shops, tire/wheel assemblies are checked on a spin-balancer, which determines the amount and angle of unbalance. Balance weights are then fitted to the outer and inner flanges of the wheel. [2]

  5. Vehicle dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_dynamics

    In current vehicle simulator models, the tire model is the weakest and most difficult part to simulate. [2] The tire model must produce realistic shear forces during braking, acceleration, cornering, and combinations, on a range of surface conditions. Many models are in use. Most are semi-empirical, such as the Pacejka Magic Formula model.

  6. Recreational vehicle terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_vehicle_terms

    Weight distributing hitch A system of springs and levers that transfers part of the tow ball weight onto the front wheels of the towing vehicle and, to a lesser extent, the RV trailer. Wet bath A bathroom in an RV where the shower and toilet stall are combined into the same room. That is, the toilet is in the shower.

  7. Wheelbase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelbase

    Because of the effect the wheelbase has on the weight distribution of the vehicle, wheelbase dimensions are crucial to the balance and steering. For example, a car with a much greater weight load on the rear tends to understeer due to the lack of the load (force) on the front tires and therefore the grip from them. This is why it is crucial ...
