Full vehicle model help

I'm trying to model a full vehicle with 8 dof:
- surge
- sway
- yaw
- roll
- rotation of wheels
I'm using a SAE coordinate system:
- x forward
- y to the right of the driver
- z down
I use Pacejka's formula for the calculation of longitudinal and lateral forces. These are the basics equations:
As regards notation
- AS is front left
- AD is front right
- PS is rear left
- PD is rear right
Can anyone help me to find out if I made modeling errors and to tune the model?
It seems to me the main problem is longitudinal slip. I do not understand which convention should I use. Inside Pacejka's book I found this:
I also found different formulas for driving condition where at denominator there is r*omega.
I find strange behaviours in the model, for example if I try to plot longitudinal rear force vs longitudinal slip. If I make a simulation without steering I get non zero values for roll angle, yaw rate, lateral velocity.
Now I'm using a step size of 0.001. Before I was using 0.01 and the graphics look like they came from experimental data.
