Why only one wheel spin when you i drive my 1999 grand-am?
This vehicle is a front wheel drive with limited slip diff built into the trans witch means when one wheel is on solid surface and one is on mud,ice or snow it will spin
How can you tell if Chrysler pacifica is in all wheel drive?
It's always in all wheel drive. You could jack up one side of car and see if the one wheel in the front and rear spin
Is the 1999 Jeep Wrangler front wheel drive?
No. Wranglers are rear-wheel drive. They all came stock with 4-wheel drive though. The rear is not posi traction. One tire can spin while the other seems to stay still.
Why does 2000 bravada stay in all wheel drive?
The 2000 bravada is a smart trak therefore it stays in all wheel drive all the time, the only way to make it not all wheel drive is to remove the front drive shaft going from the transfer case to the front end. Also do no put different size tires on the front and back while both shafts are in because this causes the rear end to spin at one speed and the front end to spin in another direction, and this will cause your transer case to grenade.
Is 67 camaro front wheel drive?
no there wasnt front wheel drive back in those days its a real wheel drive i know because my neighbor has one from that year hope this helps
Is it ok to drive a front wheel drive with snow cable on one wheel?
you will probably get a lot of Torque steer
Does a mustang have a constant velocity joint?
The front-wheel drive ones do - two of them. One for each front wheel.
Why the back wheel of a rear wheel drive can be rotated separately?
For the drive wheels on most cars - the rear wheels on a rear-wheel drive car, or the front wheels on a front-wheel drive car. There is a "limited slip differental", a set of gears connected to the driveshaft and axles. For the non-driven wheels on your car -- the front wheels on a rear-wheel drive car, the back wheels on a front-wheel drive car -- this is not an issue. There is no connection between them, so they spin independently. But the driven wheels are linked together so that a single engine and transmission can turn both wheels. If your car did not have a differential, the wheels would have to be locked together, forced to spin at the same speed. This would make turning difficult and hard on your car: For the car to be able to turn, one tire would have to slip. With modern tires and concrete roads, a great deal of force is required to make a tire slip. That force would have to be transmitted through the axle from one wheel to another.
Which is a better car - the one with the engine in front or rear?
A car with the engine in the rear should have rear/all wheel drive. A car with the engine in the front should have front/all wheel drive.
For a wheel bearing test we need to jack up and try to spin the wheels and look for roughness but in a front wheel drive in neutral position the front wheels don't spin freely bcos axle also moves.?
jack up wheel you want to test with one hand under bottom of tire and other hand on top of tire, try to move wheel up and down, in and out if bearing is bad or needs adjusting, u will see and feel movement in wheel
Were is the universal joint located?
Rear wheel drive cars, there is one on each end of the driveshaft. 4 wheel drive has a short shaft that runs to the front axle, there is one on each end of that shaft. and each front axle has one on the end behind the wheel.
Which is better all wheel front wheel or back wheel drive?
It depends greatly on how, where, and what you drive in. If you get a lot of rain/snow/mud/etc where you drive, or drive on a lot of dirt or loose rocks, then definitely all wheel drive. If you only drive on dry highways, then front or rear wheel drive is good enough, and will save you a little money on gas. Neither one is superior in every way, it all depends on what conditions you drive in. Obviously if you drive in slippery conditions, 4 wheels will give you superior traction, at the expense of using a little more gas. Front wheel drive can lead to understeer when cornering. If your wheels slip when turning, you will drift toward the outside of the turn, possibly into oncoming traffic. Rear wheel drive can cause oversteer, and make you spin out, or fishtail, if you give it too much gas. If you plan on towing a load, then you would want rear or all wheel drive so you have as much traction in the back as possible. When you hit the gas all the weight shifts to the back, so you would likely just spin the tires if using front wheel drive. So basically what's "better" of the 3 for one person might not be as good for someone else. If you're not sure what driving conditions lie ahead, then go for all wheel drive just to be safe, or even better 4 wheel drive, so you can engage it only when needed.
