Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scrub radius is influenced by the design of the suspension and the geometry of the steering system, not directly by whether a vehicle is rear-wheel drive (RWD) or front-wheel drive (FWD). The scrub radius can be positive, negative, or zero, depending on the vehicle's design, but it is not generally correct to associate negative scrub radius specifically with RWD vehicles.
