- AWD or FWD - General Discussion - Car Talk Community
FWD takes over to deliver the efficient performance you expect from the new Rogue If slippery conditions or a loss of traction are detected, AWD kicks in immediately to deliver excess power to the wheels that do have a good grip This keeps you moving forward and prevents wheel spin
- Why no FWD pickup? - Maintenance Repairs - Car Talk Community
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
- 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 The diff will have to operate, but that shouldn’t cause too
- What exactly holds a drive shaft into a FWD transmission, and how to . . .
Yes, the entire drive shaft pulled out of the transmission Did you push the joint back into the transmission before taking the picture? Inner CV joints don’t disengage from the transmission that easy Note that the inner CV joint is a telescopic joint, the shaft is designed to move in out 3 inches
- 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
- 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
- AWD vs FWD Limited Slip Differential - Car Talk Community
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 AWD though technically still only driving two wheels, but on different axles, is a huge advantage
- Fwd problems - Maintenance Repairs - Car Talk Community
I jacked up the front of my car and noticed that both front wheels turn when in park They do full rotations But that’s not it When you turn one wheel forward, the other wheel turns backwards and vice versa It’s fwd Im guessing these things arent supposed to happen So I’m wondering if it’s axle problems or something else
