Explanation of AYC

[Yeo]

Q: What is Active Yaw Control (AYC)?
A: From the Evo 4 onwards (GSR models) Active Yaw Control was introduced. It is a type of active rear differential that helps to provide maximum traction to individual rear wheels according to sensed forces on the car and the drivers input.

Q: What are the benefits?
A: Due to the nature of the design of normal �open� type differentials they will transfer torque to the wheel offering least resistance. You can see the effect when one wheel of an axle fitted with an �open� diff is in mud and the other wheel is on tarmac. The wheel in the mud (low grip, least reistance) will just spin away while the one on the tarmac (high grip, high resistance) does nothing! You can also often see this process happening on the track, especially on the front axle of normal road going FWD cars. When entering a corner the outside wheel becomes heavily loaded due to weight transfer while the wheel on the inside of the corner becomes unloaded. With an �open� diff the inside wheel can spin as torque is transferred to the wheel offering the least resistance, which is the inside wheel. To stop this torque loss a Limited Slip Differential is often fitted, especially to high performance cars. Limited Slip Differentials (LSD) come in various designs but their one aim is to limit the torque loss (�limit� the �slip� of the wheels) and to transfer it to the wheel with the most grip and therefore providing better traction. Standard LSD�s are totally mechanical in design and can only provide torque transfer in one direction proportional to the amount the �unloaded� wheel is spinning. Mitsubishi�s Active Yaw Control system builds on this principle and adds electronic control of the torque transfer.
AYC has several advantages:

* It can help equalise the loading of all four tyres and therefore provide the maximum cornering potential.
* Understeer when cornering is reduced as a Yaw moment can be set-up by torque transfer at the rear wheels.
* Sharp corners can be taken with smaller steering angles than normal due to a Yaw moment set-up by torque transfer at the rear wheels.
* When driving or pulling away with the left and right wheels on surfaces with different friction levels the AYC can transfer torque to the wheel with the most grip.

ohh and after a while it makes alot of squeaking noises when your making turns lol
