Buried post question

Post by santacarl »

Hey All,

Several days ago I posed a question in another thread but since it was an older thread I suspect few if any saw it so I thought I'd post the question in a new post.

If the left rear wheel 'drags' more than the right rear (Right rear gets 3 revolutions on a hand spin and the left rear gets 1.5 revs on a hand spin) which way will the car likely pull?

I know what common sense tells me but I'd like to verify what I thing would happen just to make sure I don't make a false assumption.

Should pull the the more draggy side.

Thanks "J".... I thought that would be the case...just wanted a sanity check...I wanted to make sure that, since it's on the rear, that there's not some kind of weird flip-a-roo reverse the 'stew' physics effect going on... #-o
