On a level road, which wheel of a normally loaded car gains load from both forward transfer under braking and outward transfer in a right-hand bend?

The front nearside (left) wheelThis was the right answer

Braking adds load at the front; a right-hand bend transfers load towards the left, outside wheels. Both effects therefore add load at the front left. This does not mean that wheel carries most of the whole car’s weight. Slow before a bend and use smooth controls.

Load moves forward under braking and outward in a bendReviewed guidance summary · The corrected question asks which wheel gains load from both effects, not which carries a universal majority; the right-turn/front-left conclusion applies the source’s two directions.
