- AWD or FWD - General Discussion - Car Talk Community
Looking to buy a decent used car fro my daughter Settled on a choice between 2 of the same models with some difference 1 2020 Nissan Rogue SV AWD 63K miles 2 2020 Nissan Rogue SV FWD 53K miles Price is pretty much same Before I sit down to negotiate I wanted input which model works best in pretty much normal weather with no snow i e northern california I prefer AWD since I own one My
- Tired of FWD vehicles and the ridiculous negative rear camber
Ive noticed most native FWD vehicles with independent rear suspension going down the road have an excessive amount of negative rear camber I know that they initially have some built in to try to help the inherently dangerous handling of FWD vehicles The problem is especially once the rear springs settle or wear from the weak rear springs carring even a modest load, that the rear camber
- Do tires have to match on FWD vehicles? Well, no, of course not, what . . .
The difference between fwd and awd is the type of differential On most awd systems, somewhere in the system is some type of limited slip device, and a different tire will chew that up On most (but not all) fwd cars there is no limited slip device, so two slightly-different sized tires will not result in a quick mechanical failure

With a FWD truck putting weight in the far back could decrease traction in front and make for a truck that slipped going up Hills and handled badly AND makes a lot of sense for trucks, but adds cost and weight The little VW and Dodge Plymouth FWD trucks sold in very modest numbers, though I recall the VW being popular with gardening services
- What happens if you put bigger tires on the back of a fwd car?
I just find out that one of the previous owners put 175 65r15 tires on my used 09 Focus The right size is 195 60r15 So I went to a shop and bought two toyo 195 tires for the back only Then when i get paid ill get the front ones next week I needed to change the rear ones because one was flat and both were in bad shape My work is only like 15m away, will this affect anything since my car is
- What exactly holds a drive shaft into a FWD transmission, and how to . . .
I am replacing all of the struts on my 2004 Toyota Corolla with new quick-struts I already did the passenger side, which was not too difficult, and cleaned up the rotor with a sanding block and fine-grit sandpaper, and replaced the brake pads Today, I pulled the driver side strut, and even though I put something under the control arm to prop it up, the drive shaft pulled out of the

If you are concerned enough about winter driving, your answer is you need winter tires FWD mini vans with winter tires are good snow vehicles AWD with winter tires is better but there are extra maintenance, repair, and higher fuel costs to consider You pay a lot for the benefits of AWD over the life of the vehicle
- AWD vs FWD Limited Slip Differential - Car Talk Community
The problem is, they never transfer as much power as a full lock and only on one axle Traction control is a good and safer compromise as it’s much cheaper to add to a fwd, works nearly as well as limited slip but at the expense of brakes while providing better modulated control for steering on the front
