Let\u2019s say that the weight over the two axles is divided equally side-to-side. This means there are 735.8 pounds on each rear wheel and 679.2 on each front. To determine cross-weight we add the weight of the right front and left rear wheels and divide that sum by the total weight of the car. Our sample car has a cross-weight of 50, meaning it\u2019s neutral. If the percentage was over 50 we\u2019d have \u201cpositive wedge,\u201d and negative\/reverse wedge for a number below 50. <\/p>\n

NOTE: It\u2019s the rare vehicle whose weight is evenly distributed side-to-side, especially with a driver in the cockpit.<\/p>\n<\/div>"},"alt_text":"Understanding How Weight Distribution Affects Your Race Car","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":1201,"height":800,"file":"2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"Cross-Weight-min-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"Cross-Weight-min-300x200.jpg","width":300,"height":200,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min-300x200.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"Cross-Weight-min-768x512.jpg","width":768,"height":512,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min-768x512.jpg"},"large":{"file":"Cross-Weight-min-1024x682.jpg","width":1024,"height":682,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min-1024x682.jpg"},"post-listing":{"file":"Cross-Weight-min-308x173.jpg","width":308,"height":173,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min-308x173.jpg"},"slide-main":{"file":"Cross-Weight-min-638x357.jpg","width":638,"height":357,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min-638x357.jpg"},"slide-thumb":{"file":"Cross-Weight-min-108x86.jpg","width":108,"height":86,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min-108x86.jpg"},"mh-magazine-lite-slider":{"file":"Cross-Weight-min-1030x438.jpg","width":1030,"height":438,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min-1030x438.jpg"},"mh-magazine-lite-content":{"file":"Cross-Weight-min-678x381.jpg","width":678,"height":381,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min-678x381.jpg"},"mh-magazine-lite-large":{"file":"Cross-Weight-min-678x509.jpg","width":678,"height":509,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min-678x509.jpg"},"mh-magazine-lite-medium":{"file":"Cross-Weight-min-326x245.jpg","width":326,"height":245,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min-326x245.jpg"},"mh-magazine-lite-small":{"file":"Cross-Weight-min-80x60.jpg","width":80,"height":60,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min-80x60.jpg"},"mh-magazine-lite-thumb":{"file":"Cross-Weight-min-376x206.jpg","width":376,"height":206,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min-376x206.jpg"},"full":{"file":"Cross-Weight-min.jpg","width":1201,"height":800,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":58887,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Cross-Weight-min.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/57"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58891"}],"wp:attached-to":[{"embeddable":true,"post_type":"post","id":58887,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
