Squat, Anti-squat, & Dive

Anti-squat angle is the angle at which the rear suspension pins are tilted upward at the front when viewed from the side of the car.  0 degree anti-squat indicates the pins are parallel with the chassis.  If the front of the pin is lower, it is "pro-squat."

More anti-squat

• More forward traction
• Less “squat” (dropping of the rear end under acceleration)
• Less on-power steering

Less anti-squat

• More on-power steering
• More stable in corners

In the front of the car, the suspension pin angle is usually referred to as kick-up, or sometimes "pro-dive" (more common in on-road.) If the pins are angled downward in the front, it's referred to as anti-dive.
