Why is the moment induced due to vertical forces during steering?

Vertical forces, primarily the vehicle's weight, also induce moments during steering, this occurs due to the offset between the tire contact patch and the suspension attachment points. As the vehicle turns, the vertical load distribution shifts, causing changes in the forces acting on these points. This imbalance generates a moment around the vehicle's roll axis, influencing steering feel and response. Engineers carefully consider these moments to optimize vehicle handling characteristics.
