A while back while I was Auto-Xing I recalled the instructor saying that the car was "pushing" while going through some S turns and I can't recall what that mean't exactly.

Based on what was happening at the time in an S curve, I was accelerating out of the first turn and it seemed like I was getting a bit of understeer going on while trying to get to the apex of the next curve.

Can anyone clarify that term "pushing" and suggest if that is something that can be helped by driving style, adjusting camber, tire width or pressures.
