Having owned a 928 for more than a decade I can vouch for the balance
and security a passive rear steer provides.

Thank you for sharing your experiences of the 928. I'm a great admirer of them.

Passive rear steer is built into all modern cars. Semi-trailing arms and live axles, characteristically, generate passive rear steer. Other suspension systems achieve passive rear steer via their suspension geometry.
