Why doesn't increased normal force from ARB (antiroll bar) increase adhesion? 1

I've long been mystified by this aspect of how ARB's work.

Why doesn't transferring weight from inside to outside tires increase their lateral tractive capability?

Seems to me that's what would should happen when increasing normal force w/o increasing the lateral force.

I understand that increased slip angles may require steering angle correction, but that's a different issue.

Don't lose interest. I think it was you that reminded me of the overloaded minipickup affect. Observed directly when following one of those little Toyota pickups loaded with three families worth of furniture piled 3.9m high and swaying side to side (and end to end) down the road. An effective exaggeration.
