Examples:
During oversteering, the rear of the vehicle breaks out toward the outside
of the curve. The vehicle rotates more on its vertical axis than required to
maneuver through the curve. Braking the outside front wheel counters the
oversteering effect.
In understeering, it is the front of the vehicle that does not follow the
curve. The front of the vehicle breaks out. The vehicle rotates less on its
vertical axis than is required to maneuver through the curve. By braking
the rear inside wheel, the braking force generated intensifies the rotational
movement of the vehicle.
Component locations (except for new components) are the same as for
the Bosch 5.3 components. The procedures for removal and installation of
the components are found in:
