load from rear axle to front axle under braking. This is due to the braking force applied at the pavement, and the force to be resisted is located at the centroid of the car's mass. This application of force creates a moment that unloads the rear tires and loads the front tires. If the suspension geometry allows this distance to increase, the weight transfer is also increased. In drag racing, allowing the front of the car to come up, the distance to the centroid is increased and the weight transfer to the rear tires is increased. In breaking, antisquat may help limit the increase in height from the pavement to the centroid of mass of the car.
