What can happen if you don't have enough weight on the front axle?

Having insufficient weight on the front axle can lead to a situation where the steering becomes dangerously compromised. When the weight on the steering axle (typically the front axle) is too light, it can result in reduced tire-to-road contact, making it difficult to maneuver the vehicle effectively. This light load can cause the steering to feel unresponsive or "floaty," which can significantly impair the driver's ability to control the vehicle, especially during turns or in adverse driving conditions.

Steering stability relies on adequate weight being distributed over the front axle. If there's not enough weight, the front tires may lose traction, leading to challenges in maintaining control. This could increase the risk of accidents, particularly on curves or when sudden steering adjustments are required. It’s critical for safety and operational efficiency that the weight distribution is balanced to ensure that the vehicle can be steered correctly and safely.
