YesThis paper presents a simulation study into the characteristics of a vehicle experiencing
steering drift under straight line braking. Simulation modelling has been performed
using a multi-body dynamics analysis based on a model of an actual vehicle. Front and rear
suspension parameters have been modelled as rigid links joined with flexible bushes so as to
assess their effect on a vehicle while braking. Suspension geometry and alignment settings,
which define characteristic responses such as lateral acceleration, yaw velocity, toe, and caster
angles of a vehicle in a transient manoeuvre, are primary to a vehicle¿s directional stability. Any
symmetric inconsistencies in these settings will potentially affect a vehicle¿s performance. The
findings from this research have increased the understanding of the causes of steering drift
during braking conditions
