titleThe Neutral Steer Point

The distance of the NSP from the front axle is determined by the following equation

Assuming the tires in the front and back are the same model, and thus the cornering stiffness values are the same, the equation simplifies down to 1/3WB.

The location of the CG relative to the NSP determines the characteristic of the yaw response. This can be summarized in variables known as the static margin and the understeer coefficient
