Abstract
A method for use in dynamometer testing of a vehicle having a steering mechanism for changing steering angle of at a wheel hub connected to a first wheel shaft is provided. The method includes to apply a torque to the first wheel shaft using a first controllable dynamometer power source of a vehicle dynamometer test unit being rigidly connected to the wheel hub. A change of steering angle of the wheel hub rotates the rigidly connected first dynamometer test unit. An external force acting on the dynamometer test unit is applied to influence the force required by the vehicle steering mechanism to change steering angle of the wheel hub when changing steering angle of the wheel hub.
