Brake Steer – Suspension KPI

Brake steer is a metric to measure the amount of self steer generated by a suspension system when it is subject to a braking (longitudinal) load at the contact patch. Brake steer is measured as degrees of toe change per Kilo-Newton of force at the contact patch, Deg/kN.

This KPI page is only a brief overview. To learn more about this and other KPIs, including KPI values used in industry, real-world examples and best-practice guidance, please refer to our courses below.
