There are two applicable definitions for this.
Oversteer meaning:
- To have the rear of the car slide in a corner. This can be beneficial in a racing environment but scary and dangerous on the public street.
- To over steer the vehicle by moving the steering wheel back and forth quickly. This is very bad at all times.

Is front wheel drive good in the snow?
Yes, along with good tires.
What can happen if you have two 17-inch rims and two 16-inch rims on your car?
It depends on if it ie front or rear wheel drive or 3 wheel drive. If it is 4 wheel drive, it is not good and will cause problems. If it is either front or rear wheel drive keep the wheels the same on the drive wheels ie. front wheel drive, keep the 17 or 16 inch wheels on the front but make sure they are the same.
Are 2002 Dodge Intrepids good in the winter?
yes as a front wheel drive they have good traction
Which is better all wheel front wheel or back wheel drive?
It depends greatly on how, where, and what you drive in. If you get a lot of rain/snow/mud/etc where you drive, or drive on a lot of dirt or loose rocks, then definitely all wheel drive. If you only drive on dry highways, then front or rear wheel drive is good enough, and will save you a little money on gas. Neither one is superior in every way, it all depends on what conditions you drive in. Obviously if you drive in slippery conditions, 4 wheels will give you superior traction, at the expense of using a little more gas. Front wheel drive can lead to understeer when cornering. If your wheels slip when turning, you will drift toward the outside of the turn, possibly into oncoming traffic. Rear wheel drive can cause oversteer, and make you spin out, or fishtail, if you give it too much gas. If you plan on towing a load, then you would want rear or all wheel drive so you have as much traction in the back as possible. When you hit the gas all the weight shifts to the back, so you would likely just spin the tires if using front wheel drive. So basically what's "better" of the 3 for one person might not be as good for someone else. If you're not sure what driving conditions lie ahead, then go for all wheel drive just to be safe, or even better 4 wheel drive, so you can engage it only when needed.

Sounds like you have a bad drive shaft.
What is better all wheel drive or front wheel drive?
Front wheel drive is superior in every way...unless you drive on muddy roads or snow every single day. All wheel drive has twice as many parts to break and give trouble with only a very small gain on snow or mud. The previous answer is only partly correct. It depends greatly on where and what you drive in. If you get a lot of rain/snow/mud/etc where you drive, or drive on a lot of dirt or loose rocks, then definitely all wheel drive. If you only drive on dry highways, then front wheel drive is good enough, and will save you a little money on gas. Neither one is superior in every way, it all depends on what conditions you drive in.

Does 2007 Honda Accord go good in snow?
It's advantageous in being a front wheel drive car, though, like front wheel drive cars are prone to doing on slick surfaces, it is prone to fishtailing. If you have good tires and know how to drive in snow, you should be alright with it. If not, then there really isn't a good that'll transform you from a poor driver in snow to an excellent one.

How do i get rid of my four wheel drive in my s10 blazer and make it a two wheel drive?
You could remove the transfer case, front driveshaft, front diff and front axleshafts. Then you'll most likely have to swap the transmission for a 2 wheel drive version and find a 2 wheel drive rear driveshaft. You would basically need a 2 wheel drive Blazer with all its running gear in good shape so you could swap all the parts over. If you're not emotionally attached to your current 4wd Blazer, I recommend just selling it and finding a fitting 2wd replacement rig.
Can a front wheel drive car be changed to a four wheel drive car?
Usually only with great difficulty. Unless you're really good at mechanics it's better to sell the FWD and buy a 4WD instead.
