      They should separate brakes on each corner controlled by a joystick - make a 4 way joystick that actuates four single piston cylinders (use a master from a hydraulic clutch - 2002 Accent for example) in an X formation and connect it to a X and Y axis pivoting joystick with pushrods to press into each master, so that each corner of the X points to the wheels LF, RF, RR, LR starting at top left and going clockwise. Connect the other end respectively to each corner of the car's brakes with brake lines - 4 way selective brakes ;)

      Yes, this is a problem of Russian car production. The design was invented, if I'm not mistaken, in 88-89, it was launched into production in 96, and finished in 2010. And when it was time to release a new model, in fact, they simply redesigned this one. And it was produced 2007-2018. Despite the fact that the plant has concepts that are currently relevant, but they will go into production, at best, with a delay of about six years.

      I own two. A 110 and a 112. They're fun if you own another car but in theyre reality dreadful cars to drive. The frame is designed in the 80s while the suspension etc is designed for 2000s, so the frame is too soft and everything feels awful. It's loud. It handles incredibly poorly. Mine are from 2000 and 2004 and neither have any other safety feature than seatbelts (which are now probably too rusted to even hold)

    And then put also one shock absorber on the left and one on the right side like somebody bellow sugested.

    Very interesting experiment. I think you should use the same mechanism as in articulated bus and add another joint in the upper section of the car (the roof), since the springs allow the articulation only in high speed - they need force to make the articulation effect.
    In addition, the front section of the car needs another set of wheels on its rear end, in order to avoid the unpredictable maneuvers.
    Keep up the good work, guys!
