Hi Ian,

Friction Engineering 101:

After determining if the driver is classified as heavy or light, just try to seat your heavier passengers on the side with the light drum; and allow your light passengers to sit on the side of the heavy drum.

Has lots to do with advanced mechanical engineering equations involving the weight and the square inch area of the loaded spread out inflated rubber tire tread in direct contact with the pavement below.

The coefficient of friction of a particular highway surface usually traveled has to be incorporated into this complicated mechanical engineering equation to insure that stopping energy is equal.

After all above meticulous calculations are performed in great detail, drive in a rural pasture, hit the brakes, and "see" which wheel slides the most on the grass, and adjust brakes accordingly according to Ford's simple recommendations for adjusting brakes.
