The above link should get you to this book;

Thomas D. Gillespie-Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics
Society of Automotive Engineers Inc (1992)

You can then download the full PDF file and that should help you get
started. I have the hardback copy of that book. The content therein
should get you started in the right direction.
