When turning left, the left wheel actually turns a smaller circle (radius) and rotating slower, being on the inside of the vehicles turning circle but the right hand wheel rotates faster and turns a larger circle (radius) than the left hand or inside wheel.

In effect the 2 wheels turn on 2 different circles, a small diameter and a large diameter.

The angles through which the left and right wheels turn about the vertical axis are the same. But the anguar speed of the left wheels are less than the angular speed of the right wheels.

Therfore the left wheels move over a small arc while the right wheels move over a large arc.

The difference in rotational rate for the left and right tires are accomodated by a mechanical device called a 'differential'. Essentially the axle for the left tire goes into the left side fo the differential, while the axle for the right tire goes to the right side of the differential. The differential's design allows for independent rotations of the left and right wheels.

there is something inside the car called a differential.
It is what it sounds like, it compensates for differences and would turn one tire a larger number of turns than the other (on the outside wheel of the same axle).
All wheel drive are the best but technology has improved to where the difference are only just barely noticable

because if the four wheeler was making a complete turn the circumfrence the right tire would be making is much larger than the circumfrence of the left tire.

The Ackerman steering system where the inside wheel turns more than the outer wheel. If you get on the net you will see diagrams. of ho\w the steering geometry is arranged. Jules, Automotive lecturer. Australia.
