WHAT IS A WHEELBASE

The wheelbase of any vehicle is the dimension from the center of the front wheel to the center of the rear wheel. Trying to increase the wheelbase and after wards improve ride characteristics, some vehicle manufactures have de-signed chassis that place the wheels closer to the ends of the vehicle. It is commonly agreed among designers and engineers that a longer wheelbase provides a smoother ride. On short wheelbase vehicles, both axles meet a rough spot in the road at nearly the same time, causing a harsh ride.

Luxury vehicles such as limousines use a very long wheelbase partially to offer a smoother and softer ride than can be obtained with a shorter vehicle. The added distance from axle to axle allows the chassis to moderate the rough road with one set of shocks completely prior to the other axle encountering the bump. Other things that are directly influenced by the vehicle's wheelbase are the steering, cornering and the vehicle's ability to negotiate parking lot entrances. The reaction time for an extremely long vehicle to respond to steering input is slow. When turning a long vehicle onto a road that is a 90-degree turn, the driver must drive past the turn before moving the steering wheel, to allow the rear of the vehicle to negotiate the turn without driving up and over the curb. If the driver were to start turning as soon as the front of the vehicle was in line with the corner, the middle of the vehicle could strike assign pole positioned on the corner.

9. Определите, являются ли следующие высказывания верными (right) или неверными (wrong). Исправьте неверные предложения в соответствии с текстом.

a. When the wheels are placed closer to the ends of the vehicle, the vehicle’s ride characteristics become much better.

b. It is safer for a driver to start turning as soon as the front of the vehicle is in line with the corner.

c. The distance between the centers of the front wheel and rear wheel is called the wheelbase.

d. To provide a smoother ride, both axles should meet a rough spot in the road at almost the same time.

e. Normally, an extremely long vehicle very quickly responds to steering input.
