hi guys
I read something interesting yesterday(atleast to me) that lateral weight transfer can occur in a car due to drive torque (http://www.physicsforums.com/library.php?do=view_item&itemid=175) from driveshaft to axle which causes axle to rotate. I found it strange that how drive torque in differential which rotates axle and thus wheels, can transfer laterally loads.Can u tell me how it occurs?

It isn't from the axle , it is from the pinion or drive shaft. Depending upon hich side of the ring gear is driven will determine which side has more weight tranferred.
