Hello, a few weeks ago I took a wide turn rather quickly on wet roads (was not speeding) and I had my first experience with oversteer. It may have been a combo of lift off oversteer and hydo planning because I was doing about 50mph.
Anyway, my car spun around twice and on the first spin the front end smacked a gaurd rail, major damage and I'm working on repairs.
I want to prevent this from happening in the future and I theorize that adding some weight in the trunk might help (empty trunk at the time). Obviously, the best way to prevent this is with safer driving, but I want to reduce my cars tendency to oversteer.I have great tred on all tires BTW.
It's a 2002 Nissan sentra GXE. The front end is low to the ground especially, when compared to the back. My first instinct was to raise the front end a tad and lower the rear a tad but, I lack the knowledge and skills to do so.
So I'm asking for help.
1. Will some extra weight in the back help?
2. Can I adjust the height or suspension of the vehicle? How?
3. Any tips for tuning my car in a way that prevents oversteer?
I am looking for an easy fix because, I lack the knowledge to do anything major.
Thanks in advance!
