      Did you finish watching that video?

      It has independent rear wheel steering.
      That’s the rear wheels turning in, because they’re meant to pivot.

        I don’t care, that’s still broken. The inertia from a sudden hard impact should not cause a non-impacted wheel to either move or even suddenly ‘steer’ for any reason.

        Yes I totally get that these are extreme forces in question, but the parts and suspension system should be built stronger than that, where inertia alone won’t cause damage to non-impacted parts on the opposite end of the vehicle.

      If you watched the whole video, he later dismisses it as the back wheels can turn as well, so they probably just folded in without them necessarily breaking

        Now I’m no genius, but I am something of a mechanic, with experience in suspension systems amongst many other things.

        I can assure you that there is absolutely no reason for a non-impacted wheel to ‘fold in’ like you said, I don’t care if it has rear wheel steering or not.

        That shit’s just straight up broke yo.
