Which axis do the front and rear roll centres define?

  • A.The roll axis
  • B.The pitch axis, about which the vehicle rotates during acceleration and braking rather than during cornering
  • C.The thrust axis
  • D.The neutral axis, about which the body bends when it is loaded and which determines the torsional stiffness

Answer: A

The line joining the front and rear roll centres is the roll axis, and the vehicle rolls about it. Its inclination affects the front to rear balance of load transfer. Pitch is a separate motion controlled by anti-dive and anti-squat geometry. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold. Checking which component actually carries the load settles most questions of this kind at once. The shared properties explain why these belong to one family, and the differences explain why more than one exists.
