Oversteer is a phenomenon that occurs when driving a car and passing corners with smaller curves at higher speeds or in adverse road conditions.

The name of this phenomenon is derived from the fact that the car, or only its rear axle, turns excessively during oversteer.

The powertrain layout describes where the engine is located in the car and which axle is driven.

In addition to this information, however, the powertrain layout choice is also a key factor in determining the car's driving characteristics, production costs, and possible car bodies.

The drive axle is the axle to which the engine torque is transmitted and whose wheels drive the car. The drive axle, therefore, transfers the engine's torque through the wheels to the road.

How does the drive axle affect the driving characteristics of the vehicle? Let's take a look at it.
