    How do you know if a car has a forward pitch?
    Forward pitch occurs whenever you apply the brakes, shifting the balance away from the back of the vehicle and into the front wheels. If you brake suddenly, you will notice the hood of the vehicle dipping towards the road and feel the rear of the vehicle lifting slightly.

    What is a pitch in a car?
    What is pitch? Pitch is a shift in your vehicle’s weight forwards or backwards. When it happens, the weight is moving from one end of the vehicle to the other - from the back to the front or from the front to the back. When you brake, it causes a drop in the front end of your car and lifts the rear end (like in the above gif).

    How to calculate vehicle pitching characteristics during braking?
    The calculation model of vehicle pitching characteristics during braking has three degrees of freedom: the displacement X of the vehicle in the driving direction, the displacement Z of the centre of gravity in the vertical direction and the pitch angle φ around the centre of gravity [ 6, 7 ]. The dynamics analysis can be seen in Fig. 3.

    How do you know if a car is pitching?
    To see pitch natural frequency, you’ll need two people. One pushes down on the front as the other lifts the rear. By working in concert, they get the car pitching. The natural frequency of pitch can then be determined. Now all this can start getting complicated waaay fast, so let’s make a few simplifications.
