2. Drive shaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_shaft

   The transmission and final drive for the front axle are combined into one housing alongside the engine, and a single drive shaft runs the length of the car to the rear axle. This is a favoured design where the torque is biased to the front wheels to give car-like handling, or where the maker wishes to produce both four-wheel drive and front ...

3. Drive wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_wheel

   Rear-wheel drive (RWD) typically places the engine in the front of the vehicle, with a driveshaft running the length of the vehicle to the differential transmission. However, mid engine and rear engine layouts can also be used. It was a common layout used in automobiles throughout the 20th century.

4. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

   For rod length 6" and crank radius 2" (as shown in the example graph below), numerically solving the acceleration zero-crossings finds the velocity maxima/minima to be at crank angles of ±73.17615°. Then, using the triangle law of sines, it is found that the rod-vertical angle is 18.60647° and the crank-rod angle is 88.21738°. Clearly, in ...

5. Torque steer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_steer

   Have both driveshafts be of equal length by using an intermediate shaft (or "lay shaft") on one side of the transmission. This is already implemented on most modern cars. [4] When the driveshafts have different length and excessive torque is applied, the longer half shaft flexes more than the shorter one. However, this is a short-term transient ...

6. Differential (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mechanical...

   The remaining length of a given pinion meshes with the nearer spur gear on its axle. Each pinion connects the associated spur gear to the other spur gear (via the other pinion). As the carrier is rotated (by the input torque), the relationship between the speeds of the input (i.e. the carrier) and that of the output shafts is the same as other ...

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 ...
