This tutorial shows how you might use an armature with the model of car (automobile) in this case to allow simultaneous turning of the front wheels.

Key Points –
Adding the root bone and parenting it to the car.
Using X-axis mirror in edit mode to extrude two bones to be linked to the wheels.
Using snap to place the bones at the centre of the wheels.
Setting up the Inverse Kinematics constraint for one of the new bones.
Setting up the Copy Rotation constraint for the other so that it synchronises.
How to animate wheel rotation using the armature.
Look at an alternative armature configuration.

  1. im rigging a body right now and when i move the bone, somehow the body only does a part of the actual track, so its always a bit behind it. I think it has to do with weight but I didnt figure it out until now what it is. can you help me?
