It influences how much weight is transferred across the front and rear wheels

It is similar to what can be done with spring rates but this is more of a fine tune. A few weeks ago is was under steering like a pig and we raised the rear .2 and that brought back the balance. The understeer was because of the surface we were on, it had less grip than this weekend so we lowered the rear .1 and it was perfect.
