What is passive rear steering? How is different from normal steering? How does it work? Inquiring minds want to know.
Before there is a revival of the Randy Eddycat row.

The passive rear steer is caused be the trailing link on the rear suspension. As the wheel moves up and down, it is pulled forward in an arc around this trailing link. The effect is as the wheel moves up it also is pulled forward, to point in, or toes in. This causes the car to oversteer slightly.
