    errr, hang on... I'm digging out my books now......


    ok, it does change depending on your vehicles geometry and steering system. And I've got it tail about....

    the longer your wheel base and tighter your turn the closer the rear wheels get to the center.

    articulated and multi axle steer vehicles follow the example I gave and your on the money for a normal vehicle...

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    My mental capacities have been hurting since the start of this thread!

    the outside front wheel
    ..because the rear follows the front on the shortest path possible?

    Then again its 3am and the mental gymnastics hurt.

    no need to get twisted up about it...

    what I've gone and done is mixed up the angular direction of the wheels with the paths of the wheels

    The basic principal of the detroit causing steering problems by driving the front diff at the wrong speed is sound and I would have picked up on my error if Id been using real numbers instead of simple made up ones.

    twisted up about it? You mean like the splines on the front axles??

    It's okay Dave, I was only messing with you ... don't suppose you'd like to enlighten me regarding LSD's in fast cars would you???

    well, if your driving properly they dont do a thing....

    when you over cook it and a wheel lets go they ensure that some drive remains going to the wheels that can use it so you keep control....

    same concept as a locker for a four wheel drive just faster and less agressive.

    oh and when you say LSD did you mean

    mechanical cone clutched?
    mechanical spiral clutched
    fluid coupled?
    viscous shear coupled?
    electrically coupled?
    Band braked?
