    Hi everyone!
    I've been wondering for a while now why there's this irregularity with the suspensions while accelerating with some vehicles (both mods and official (and I've tried in safe mode)). It's mainly with "big" suspensions (don't know the correct technical term, sorry) as you can see in the screenshots. I never found an answer to this question on the Internet so here I ask you : Is this normal ? Is this a bug ? If not, why does this happen (I don't know much about vehicles mechanics).
    Thanks!

    wym by "irregularity"? the suspension being unstable at high speeds?

    Let me guess, he means the cars veers to the right/left when he accelerated.
    That's not a bug.

    There are two things happening:
    - Engine reaction torque (big engines has more reaction torque, pushing vehicles to a side. Very visible on drag cars)
    - Front solid axle. Those kind of suspension have pros and cons. One of the cons is that the steering center depends on the vehicle height. Offroad suspensions are pretty smooth, so the ride height keeps changing (all of this if you are using that kind of suspension obv)
