"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Re: rear beam
I'm guessing a 406 here, they're all the same.
Hmm, not sure, by rear beam you mean the crossmember, #1 here:

It looks fairly robust but I don't think I've ever thought of using it because there's so much in the way. What are you up to?

Re: rear beam
Do you mean the arms then? There is no beam axle
Mine tried to slide off one, everyone else just uses the sills.
