Turn problem 99 max.

Sep 29, 2004 3 Replies

everytime when I make a turn then give the gas, my car seem like cannot give out the power to move the car (it is not smooth) in 2000 - 2300rpm, why? It is my driving skill problem or the car has something wrong?



Have you ever checked your fluids? It almost sounds like the differential is locked up (the outer wheel needs to turn more revolutions than inner wheel). Kind of like trying to use 4-wheel drive on dry pavement.

what do u mean by that? what kind of fluids I need to check?

I do not have a service manual handy, but if you have some sort of drag turning tight corners, it could be some sort of problem with the differential (low on fluid?), or maybe a wheel bearing resulting in brake drag. Or it could be a corroded parking brake cable causing the rear brakes to drag, only noticeable at low speed.

With the parking brake on and rear wheels blocked, jack up a front corner, and with transmission in neutral, see if you can relatively easily rotate the wheel. In neutral, you should be able to roll one front tire even with the other one on the ground. Also grab top and bottom of tire and alternately push and pull with each hand to see if there is any play in the wheel bearing. Then try jack up the other side and see if that wheel has any top/bottom play.
