What is it that causes the rear wheel to lift when cornering hard?

Is it because the dampening is so stiff? It looks mental, as if it'll flip..

proper stiff shell



or throwing a standard car into a corner will get you onto 3 wheels

possibly 2

or if your really good.

none

massive shift of weight.....pics are likely coming off a fast bend then into slow tighter bend....

huge weight shift onto front left causing back right to lift

All about weight transfer Dan.

Brake, turn in...

Weight moves forward, even you brace yourself against the wheel as you brake hard.

Then as you turn the forces of you turning, accelerating away from a straight line moves weight to the side.

Imagine that clios on scales



Its good in a FWD car as the weights gone to the tyres that need it most.

Hope that cleared it up a bit

A ARB on the rear beam will increase the affect to. What one side does the ARB tries to mirror.

Take your springs and dampers away and jack your car up.

If you pick your right wheel up, the other side would come up too (if you lifted it high enough!).

As the car leans, the right wheels forced up. The torsional stiffeness picks the other wheel up too.

FWD track cars usually have a hell of a stiff rear ARB and the rear droop is very limited. The lateral weigth shift is also huge. Just have a look at that right front tyre. It's hardly touching the ground too, because of the grip of the slicks.
