In hondas, the rear wheel turn both direction, depending on the vehicle speed. I am not sure exactly what speed, but near 25 mph. If the speed is below 25 mph, rear wheel turns opposite direction as front wheels, to aid parking, i guess. If the speed exceed 25 mph, the rear turns same direction as the front, i guess this is to aid lane changes on highway. Also the degree of rear wheel turning is minimal. You can hardly notice if it is turning. passenger car wise, honda dropped it in 92 or 93, however, in larger scale, per say, bus, they still apply that technology. all of the 45 feet tour/sightseeing bus from MCI(Motorcoach Inc.), and Kassabor(?) Setra(Mercedes family, german made) has this technolgy. thei dual driving wheels dont steer, but tag axle behind it turns, and turns a lot. I am not sure about Kassabor Setra, but MCI, it only turns to opposite side at lower speed and lock in in high speed. Wight wise, who cares about adding afew pounds in 11 ton bus, and adding couple thousand in over $300,000 tour bus? But it must be working!!! Peter Yi 85 4000s 93 100 cs 92 Honda prelude 4ws
