DESIGN OF SUSPENSION TO PREVENT PULLING TO ONE SIDE AND SKIDDING DURING BRAKING-PARTICULARLY ON A SURFACE WITH DIFFERING COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION

From suspension geometry and the splitting of the dual brake circuits can be so designed as to achieve optimal braking stability both on a straight course and when cornering. This paper sets out to demonstrate that front suspension geometry incorporating outboard scrub radius together with diagonally split dual brake circuits - expecially with wheels on surface with different skid number - can considerably improve directional stability under braking. /Author/
