Abstract: A turn brake includes a cylinder assembly coupled to a conventional front-wheel steering system of a multi-track vehicle. The cylinder assembly generates fluid power for applying differential braking force to left and right wheels of the vehicle in response to turning of a steering wheel of the steering system, thereby compensating for a loss of steering traction. Pressure generated in the cylinder assembly can exert a reaction force on the steering wheel to provide tactile feedback to the driver, which may help to avoid oversteer. An optional shutoff mechanism may be provided for selectively disabling or disconnecting the turn brake.
